Nye Focuses on Creating Jobs, Helping Veterans
Virginia Beach, VA – Congressman Glenn Nye (VA-02) took time Monday morning to help a small business give back to the community and support local veterans. Nye visited DOMA Technologies, a veteran-owned small business in Virginia Beach, to take part in the “First Annual Charity Challenge.”
“The unemployment rate for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is 22% higher than the rest of the nation, but businesses like DOMA are an outstanding example of how veteran-owned small businesses can create jobs and grow our local economy,” said Congressman Glenn Nye. “We need to give more veterans the tools they need to launch their own businesses, and we must continue cutting taxes for small businesses so they can do what they do best: create jobs.”
The “First Annual Charity Challenge” was sponsored by DOMA Technologies as part of an open house to bring local, veteran-owned businesses together to make charitable donations to organizations across Hampton Roads including the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, and the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.
