Washington, DC (Hagerstown, MD), United States, September 9, 2026 — The Congressional
Family Business Caucus is set for September 23 on Capitol Hill, with meeting’s discussions
focused squarely on “The Price of Prosperity” and wealth taxes.

_           _The Caucus, the last for the 119th Congress, is_ _co-chaired by [Rep. Lou Correa ](https://familyenterpriseusa.com/family-business-caucus/)(
D-CA) and [Rep. Claudia Tenney](https://familyenterpriseusa.com/family-business-caucus/)(
R-NY) and will feature Dr. Frank Luntz, EY’s Dianne Mehany, legislative experts 
from Brownstein, and a panel of family-owned business leaders sharing strategies
on maintaining businesses growth, tax concerns, and solutions for passing their 
businesses on to the next generation.

**           ** EY’s Dianne Mehany, Private National Tax Leader at consulting firm
EY, will present on “The Cumulative Tax Burden.”

           Her presentation covers how income, estate, gift, and transaction taxes
add up on family-owned businesses across generations, and how high-leverage planning
can create opportunities.

           Family Enterprise USA advocates for family-owned businesses and is the
organizer of the event on Capitol Hill. The total number of House Members signed
on to the Caucus now totals 49, comprised of 21 Democrats and 28 Republicans.  

           During the Caucus several House Members are expected to present their
views on family-owned business challenges, laws impacting them, and insights on 
potentially damaging wealth taxes. The meeting starts at 8:30AM and ends at 12:30PM,
followed by a series of meetings with House Members in their offices.

           In the morning session there will be several presentations, starting 
with legislative updates from Capitol Hill insiders Russ Sullivan and Jared Jones,
both from the legal and government affairs firm, Brownstein.

           Tim Schultz, Chief Executive Officer, and Pat Soldano, President, Family
Enterprise USA will lead the discussions, along with John Gugliada, Director of 
Engagement, Family Enterprise USA. 

           Well-known communications consultant and pollster, Dr. Frank Luntz, will
also present his views on the political landscape and new research on what Americans
will be thinking when they vote this November.

            A panel discussion will follow with four family-owned business leaders.
The panelists are Jeff Ahola, of Ahola Corporation, George Gleason, II, of Bank 
OZK, John-Paul Lake of Rain for Rent, and Casey Roscoe of Gerking Ranch.

 “It’s important Members of Congress understand what a powerful economic engine 
family-owned businesses are for our country, and these [Caucus meeting](https://familyenterpriseusa.com/family-business-caucus/)
s help them craft policies that keep them strong and growing,” said Family Enterprise
USA’s Schultz.

           Schultz and Gugliada will guide the panelists on their concerns on taxation,
looming wealth taxes, capital investments, community, long-term planning, and job
creation.

 “The theme ‘The Price of Prosperity’ is an apt topic for this final Caucus meeting
as voters weigh in on wealth taxes in coming elections,” said Soldano. “Tim Schultz,
our new Chief Executive Officer, has done a great job organizing this Caucus, an
important forum for our lawmakers to learn about and understand the unique challenges
America’s family-owned businesses face in this challenging economy,” she said.

 America’s family businesses are the largest private employers in the country, accounting
for 83.3 million jobs in some 32 million family businesses across the country, according
to research. These businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to U.S. gross domestic
product.
