Small Business

One of the best ways for Congress to help speed the economic recovery this country so desperately needs is to invest in the engines of our economy, America’s small businesses. Small businesses have been the number one creator of jobs in America for many years now .

I have fought for legislation to extend SBA lending so small businesses positioned to grow can access credit to expand, and I have voted to give tax breaks to small businesses that hire workers. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I believe we should be doing all we can to ensure that the SBA is fully funded and that our small businesses receive the support they need.
