Congressman Nathaniel Moran: Championing Local Businesses in Longview

In a display of unwavering support for our local businesses, Congressman Nathaniel Moran recently embarked on a tour of two remarkable enterprises right here in Longview: INDEVCO and Louis Morgan Pharmacy #4. His visit underscores the profound impact that visionary leadership can have on our community.

Louis Morgan Pharmacy, a beloved local institution, kicked off a day in Longview. He delved into the core of community-based entrepreneurship. The pharmacy’s dedication to personalized care and community well-being aligns perfectly with Congressman Moran’s vision for a prosperous future. His visit was a testament to his commitment to addressing insurance issues experienced by independent pharmacies.

After visiting with nearly 200 key influencers from the business community for lunch Congressman Moran visited INDEVCO. Here he witnessed firsthand the innovative spirit that drives this industry leader. With a commitment to sustainable packaging solutions, INDEVCO is not just a business; it’s a catalyst for positive change. Congressman Moran’s engagement with the company’s leadership further solidified his reputation as a champion of big, bold initiatives, emphasizing the importance of environmentally responsible practices in our ever-evolving business landscape.

Congressman Nathaniel Moran’s journey through Longview’s business landscape not only showcased his unwavering support but also highlighted his role as a convener of key stakeholders, bridging the gap between government and business.

We are grateful for Congressman Moran’s visit to Louis Morgan #4 as it is critical to our existence and success. These visits help our policymakers understand local needs, which are essential for job creation and economic growth. Currently local independent pharmacies are struggling due to nontransparent activities by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Our local Chamber of Commerce has been vital in helping us coordinate visits by our state and federal representatives. Without the Chamber we would have little to no opportunity to show lawmakers how PBM issues are affecting our business.
