Creating a Business-Friendly Environment
“Small medical practices, like small businesses, are not immune from the barriers placed on them by ineffective and inefficient government burdens. As a registered nurse, I understand that a modern, efficient and well-equipped office is critical to the practice of medicine.” (Renee Ellmers, Fayetteville Obersver, 06/16/11) Reducing the government burden on small businesses and medical [...]
Video: Questioning Secretary Geithner
I had the opportunity to question Secretary Geithner when he testified before the Small Business Committee last week. During our exchange, the secretary told me the administration has no choice but to continue adding to the excessive burdens on the backs of our small businesses – or else shrink the government. On behalf of the small [...]

Creating a Pro-Jobs Environment for North Carolina
On the campaign trail in 2010, voters from Sanford to Fayetteville told me that their biggest concern was how North Carolina was going to grow jobs in this tough economic climate. And that concern has been the driving force in these 5 months I’ve been in office. From fighting Obamacare to standing up for our [...]

Merry Christmas
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. — Luke 2:13-14
At this special time of year, Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Many do so by following His example of compassion and generosity of spirit — reaching out to those less fortunate, lending a helping hand. Many celebrate the season by remembering those in uniform serving overseas, whose sacrifices keep us all safe and free. Others take time out from their hectic schedules to enjoy good times with family and friends.
As we join in the various celebrations of this Christmas season, may we all give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy. May we remember those serving at home and in foreign lands, and their families. And in true Christmas spirit, may we reach out to those in our community in need.
Thank you for your support and prayers over the past year. My family and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
Renee Receives Committee Assignment Recommendations
Dunn, NC─ Congresswoman-Elect Renee Ellmers released the following statement today:
“I am very pleased and honored to announce I have been recommended to serve on the Agriculture, Small Business and Foreign Affairs committees in the 112th Congress. These assignments will put me in a unique position to work on issues particularly important to the constituents of the Second District.”
Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) contacted Ms. Ellmers to let her know that the House Steering Committee had recommended her for the three committee assignments. Ms. Ellmers will be sworn in as the Representative for North Carolina’s Second Congressional District on January 5, 2011.
North Carolina’s Second District has a rich agricultural history and is home to many farmers. It is also home to many active members of the military stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC. The seats on the Agriculture and Foreign Affairs Committees are particularly important to those communities. The Small Business Committee addresses a wide range of diverse issues including those related to health care, contracting and technology, rural areas and trade.
“I am delighted that the Steering Committee has made these recommendations. I look forward to getting to work on these three very important committees to address the concerns of the farmers, small business owners, men and women of the armed forces, the constituents of the Second District and the state of North Carolina,” Ellmers said.
