SurgePays says Congressman David Kustoff visits headquarters

SurgePays announced that Tennessee’s Eighth District Congressman David Kustoff visited SurgePays’ headquarters in Bartlett, Tennessee on Friday to learn more about the company and its focus on serving the nation’s underbanked and underserved communities. SurgePays’ CEO, Brian Cox, hosted the Congressman’s delegation and was joined by Chief Financial Officer Tony Evers, Vice President of Sales Garth Billstin, Vice President of Business Development Derron Winfrey and Chief Administrative Officer David Ansani. Congressman Kustoff’s team included District Director Ed Jackson, Field Representative Isaac Weston and Special Assistant Billy Masters. During the meeting, Mr. Cox and his team provided an overview of SurgePays’ business including a broad array of prepaid wireless and financial products offered through a network of independent convenience stores. The company also provides federally funded wireless service, offered through the ACP program, to more than a quarter million low-income households nationwide. They also spoke about the company’s uplisting to the Nasdaq exchange and its naming to the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 as the 345th fastest growing technology company in North America. SurgePays is one of a handful of public companies based in the eighth district which includes the bulk of West Tennessee. Congressman Kustoff has been in office since January 2017. He serves on the important House Ways and Means Committee which oversees the nation’s Social Security, tax and trade policies. “It was a pleasure to visit SurgePays and meet with CEO Brian Cox,” said Congressman Kustoff. “I appreciated hearing about your work to provide essential services to businesses and families across West Tennessee. Thank you for having me.”
