Rep. Veasey Launches ‘Marc Means Business’ Workdays Initiative during April District Work Period
April 24, 2015
Fort Worth, TX – Today, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, continues in a series of “roll up your sleeves” local business visits across Texas’ 33rd congressional district, by touring and working as a deliveryman at Ben E. Keith Beverages, a locally-owned and operated beverage distributor throughout Texas .
This is the most recent in a series of visits planned to employers across Texas’ 33rd congressional district as part of Rep. Veasey’s ‘Marc Means Business’ initiative to better understand the jobs that exist in the district and the challenges that constituents face in their jobs and daily lives. As part of this ongoing initiative, Veasey will visit a variety of local businesses across the Metroplex.
He launched this initiative in March of 2014, during Women's History Month, to highlight the contributions that women business owners have made to America’s economic growth. His hope was that his visits would provide some real-world perspective to inspire women to realize their dreams of running their own businesses. "After all, small businesses are going to be the growth engine that drives the economic recovery.”
