Congressman Tom Emmer is on the House Committee on Financial Services, and subcommittees on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises, Monetary Policy and Trade, and Terrorism and Illicit Financing. We are all impacted by the new tariffs: Costs for food, cars, appliances, “Kentucky bourbon” and products that use steel from China all face an inflationary spiral. Moderated by Doug Loon, President of the MN Chamber, several area companies that have been negatively impacted by the newly imposed tariffs will serve on a roundtable discussion. A continental breakfast will be served. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited so registration is required HERE. Thank you to our Sponsors: SAVE THESE OCTOBER DATES!
