Harris campaign's co-chair stops in Omaha for small business roundtable

OMAHA — Mitch Landrieu, who helped implement the bipartisan infrastructure bill of 2021 that he said is sending $2.6 billion to Nebraska, stopped in the 2nd District Friday as part of his new job stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Landrieu, the former New Orleans mayor and ex-lieutenant governor of Louisiana, is co-chair of Harris’ presidential campaign, one of President Joe Biden’s former campaign staffers who shifted to Harris when Biden chose not to run.

He held an hourlong meeting with small business owners at Kitchen Table in downtown Omaha, where he discussed Harris’ plans to help entrepreneurs get capital and tax relief.

He highlighted her proposal to increase the tax deduction for business startups to $50,000 from $5,000. He also said Harris wants to make it easier for small businesses to take the standard deduction to reduce paperwork when filing taxes.
