U.S. Representative-elect Mark Messmer (IN-08), and Missouri’s Governor-elect Mike Kehoe – both small business owners and NFIB members – join this episode to discuss why they decided to run for office, why it’s important to have small business owners as lawmakers, and their small business-focused policy priorities.
