District Meeting

Cincinnati, OH – Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-02) participated in a roundtable listening session with local restaurant owners at White Castle, hosted by the Ohio Restaurant Association and the National Restaurant Association. Ohio’s 2nd District is home to 1,271 eating and drinking establishments, employing more than 24,600 people throughout the district.

“Our local businesses are the heart of our community,” said Congressman Wenstrup. “These roundtables foster discussion and allow me the opportunity to directly listen to the concerns of small business owners and learn about how regulations are not only hurting their businesses, but affecting the lives of their employees and their families. We need to update and reform government regulations so that they work for families, small business owners, and individuals throughout our community.”

"Congressman Wenstrup's heart for service is in lockstep with the restaurant industry's heart for hospitality,” said Jamie Richardson, Vice President, Government and Shareholder Relations at White Castle System, Inc. “It was great to spend time with him today to share our concerns and talk about the real-world issues that impact restaurants every day.”
