I know this through my own efforts at starting a small business many years ago. With my work in Congress I am committed to advancing the interests of small businesses and reducing the burden of excessive government regulation. Many of you may already be aware that the week of May 23rd is Small Business Week.
Small business is clearly the backbone of American economic growth.
The Small Business Administration was created in order to aid, counsel, assist, and protect the interests of small businesses. Congratulations to the many successful small business men and women of our area, and best of luck in the future.
