Special thanks to Republican Policy Committee, Senator John Thune for meeting with restaurant operators and South Dakota Retailers Association last week in Sioux Falls, SD. This event provided operators with a unique opportunity to share their personal experiences, while Sen. Thune outlined his plans to support small businesses. Engagements like these are crucial for educating members of Congress about the challenges faced by the industry and advocating for key issues that impact small business owners.
