According to his campaign website bio, Knight has: "quickly become known as a fierce advocate for fiscal responsibility, job creation and public safety in our nation’s Capitol. In his first year in Congress, Knight authored H.R. 1390—the Small Business Joint Venturing Act—which was signed into law by the President in late 2015. H.R. 1390 will give small businesses, which employ around half of our nation’s workers, a better chance to compete for federal contracts. " |
