Little Falls business owner advocates for small business in Washington, D.C.

A Little Falls business owner is doing her part to share the concerns of small businesses with lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

Paula Kampa, owner of Kampa Gerbi and Associates Inc. recently participated in Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Voices which concluded with rural small business fly-in to the Nation’s Capital where she met with Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith and Representatives Pete Stauber and Tom Emmer. Rural small business owners from 15 other states also made the trek — including a total of five from Minnesota, Kampa said.
