Washington, D.C. – The 117th Congress has 68 new members so far, representing a wide variety of constituencies. One thing they all have in common? Private equity has invested capital and supported jobs in their communities.

In 2019 alone, Private equity firms invested $141 Billion in states and districts represented by newly elected members of the U.S. House and Senate. PE-backed companies directly employ 997,000 people in states with new Senators and Representatives.
