Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Votes in favor of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act

(WASHINGTON, DC)—Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, released the following statement on his vote in favor of HR 3606, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act:

“Removing obstacles for small companies that seek to access capital markets is a strong step towards fostering innovation and job creation in the United States. Therefore, I was glad to support HR 3606 when it came for a vote on the House floor earlier today.

“HR 3606 incorporates several ideas that both Democrats and Republicans have long supported, and so I hope this bill is the beginning, and not the conclusion, of bipartisan cooperation by Congress to stimulate job creation in 2012.”
