ELFA Advocacy at Work
In September, ELFA members hosted a visit in the Dallas area with Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24), a member of the House Ways & Means Committee serving on the Subcommittees on Oversight and Tax Policy.
It was a productive meeting focused on key tax provisions set to expire next year and highlighted the critical need to address interest limitation deductibility and bonus depreciation. These provisions are crucial for helping businesses manage cash flow and drive equipment investments through leasing and financing, which not only support business growth but also strengthens the U.S. economy.
In addition to Rep. Van Duyne, special thanks to Kirk Phillips of Wintrust Commercial Finance for hosting the meeting at Wintrust's offices and to Jill McKean-Bilby of Huntington Equipment Finance for coordinating the event, and everyone who participated.
