Activities
The Job Creators Network was originally founded in 2010 under the name The Job Creators Alliance. JCN launched a "Bring Small Businesses Back" (BSBB) campaign in 2016. In April 2016, JCN hosted a BSBB event in Orlando featuring Frank Luntz, Mike Gallagher, and a panel of small business owners.
Throughout 2017, JCN advocated for tax cuts through a campaign dubbed “Tax Cuts Now”, and offered the group's support to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which offered temporary tax cuts to individuals and permanent tax cuts to corporations. The Tax Cuts Now campaign included a bus tour that made stops across the country. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich penned an op-ed supporting the campaign in USA Today with Brad Anderson, former CEO of Best Buy and a member of JCN.
