Next week Congress will begin a new session and with this comes another opportunity to govern on behalf of the American people and advance solutions that promote growth and job creation such as my bill, the Hire More Heroes Act, which helps small businesses hire more of our veterans." Speaker Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have pointed to the Hire More Heroes Act as an example of bipartisan legislation that will serve as a starting point for the new American Congress's focus on jobs and growth.   Learn more about Rep.
