Among the pro-business policies Knight supported was a measure that would modernize the federal rulemaking process to curb costly regulations and another aimed at repealing the unpopular Medical Device Tax brought about by the Affordable Care Act.
In addition to these key votes, Knight worked closely with the SCV Chamber to understand and promote the priorities of local businesses. With the help of the Chamber, Knight toured several businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley and talked with their owners about the challenges they face in growing their operation. As a member of the House Small Business Committee, Knight has championed multiple bills that would address these problems at the federal level.
Representative Steve Knight, (R-Antelope Valley), represents California’s 25th Congressional District in the US House of Representatives, which includes the communities throughout the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Simi Valleys.
