It's been an honor representing North Carolina in the House of Representatives. Thank you to everyone for the opportunity to serve our great state these last 8 years.

Congratulations to @BorisJohnson and the entire UK for finalizing a Brexit agreement. Now is the time to strengthen the special relationship between our two nations and forge a comprehensive US-UK Free Trade Agreement.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

I’d like to personally thank @RepDrewFerguson for his help in passing this important legislation.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

Last night, Congress delivered a huge win for small businesses by passing my bill, H.R. 6821, the Small Business Expense Protection Act, as part of the COVID relief package.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

This will save small businesses from a $120 billion surprise tax bill by allowing for full expense deductibility on forgiven PPP loans. Businesses have suffered enough throughout this pandemic and this fix is a much-needed step towards getting them back on their feet.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

Congress must ensure these businesses are not saddled with a surprise tax bill they cannot afford.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

Yesterday,@RepFletcher, @RepDrewFerguson and I sent a letter with over 170 of our House colleagues to Leadership asking that they make forgiven PPP funds completely tax free. The PPP has been an essential lifeline for small businesses struggling to keep their doors open.

The Most Favored Nation executive order is the last thing we need in the fight against COVID-19. Government price controls serve only to disincentivize the development of innovative treatments and cut access to vital drugs that hundreds of thousands of Americans depend on daily.

I want to thank @PatrickMcHenry in particular for his help on crafting this bill. 4/4

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

Today, some of my colleagues and I from North Carolina introduced a bill to allow nonprofit firefighters and emergency medical service workers to join a state or local retirement system. 1/4

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

This legislation clears the way for North Carolina to include these essential personnel in their government retirement plans to provide benefits to the hundreds of men and women who risk their lives providing invaluable community services. 3/4

Hoping @realDonaldTrump and the First Lady have a speedy recovery from coronavirus. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

[Former Rep. George Holding @RepHolding]

The PPP has broad bipartisan support. It provides food assistance, assists schools re-opening, and helps stop the spread of Covid-19. Speaker Pelosi is only interested in politics as usual. We should be helping Americans in need by extending the PPP -- not playing politics.

Compelling argument on WTO by @LiamFox consistent with my Senate Resolution.

The WTO has historically been among the world’s most important international organizations, but right now it is in dire need of reform. #jobs

Voting continues in the 2nd round of the #WTODG selection in Geneva. Today I have been talking about how we need to get more #SMEs trading across the 🌍. https://t.co/Zmy8RhydLy #wto #LiamFoxForWTO

Happy (belated) birthday, Ambassador! 👠🥳

[Dame Karen Pierce @KarenPierceUK]

.@LiamFox’s vision for the @WTO will ensure the organisation works for everyone through practical changes and recommitment to the principles of free trade and comparative advantage.

[Sir Liam Fox @LiamFox]

"We need both practical changes in the @wto itself & the recommitment to the principles of #freetrade & comparative advantage which have seen us help take more than 1 billion people out of extreme poverty in the last generation" @CapX #LiamFoxForWTO https://t.co/06gQbpulgk #WTODG

The WTO has achieved no serious trade liberalisation for 25 years - it's high time for change, argues WTO Director General candidate @LiamFox
