“Having started a successful company, Sen. Johnson understands firsthand what it’s like to run a business. He knows our challenges and what keeps us up at night better than most and has intimate knowledge of how regulatory changes can deeply impact us and other Wisconsin businesses,” said Scott Larson, president.

“It’s vital to have someone with his extensive private-sector experience representing us, especially when that someone is so intimately involved with federal spending and regulatory affairs,” said Greg Toler, vice president of supply chain.

Johnson is chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which has subcommittees on Federal Spending Oversight and Regulatory Affairs & Federal Management.

“As someone who spent 31 years building a manufacturing business and now has oversight over the regulatory activities of the federal government, laying out our economic realities with Wisconsin job creators is one of my main priorities,” said Johnson. “The leadership and employees of Gustave A. Larson understand the importance of these realities and the negative impact our massive regulatory burden is having on businesses across Wisconsin and America.”

Johnson previously met with Gustave A. Larson Company and other Wisconsin businesses at HARDI’s 2015 Congressional Fly-In.
