A Message Fromโ€ฆ

Join Me for a Paycheck Protection Program Webinar for Small Businesses and Non-Profits!
 
Dear Neighbor,ย I hope your new year is off to a good start and that you are entering 2021 healthy and safe. Before we embarked on the new year, Congress passed another COVID relief package which I was proud to help negotiate through my Problem Solvers Caucus. This package included a new round of the Paycheck Protection Program with hundreds of millions in funds allotted for small businesses and non-profits still struggling with the economic setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic.
