Help for Small Businesses

I remain committed to laser-like focus and action to create an economic environment that grows jobs, strengthens the foundation for future economic growth, and reduces unemployment.

I want to see the label “Made in America” again. We need to support small and medium sized businesses export their products – not their jobs – overseas.

I recently introduced the Small Manufacturers Export Initiative to provide resources to build the infrastructure necessary to help American Small and Medium Sized Businesses with export opportunities around the world.

Additionally, my office has established an Export Assistance program that will connect local small manufacturers with the people and resources they need to export their goods and create jobs.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy – and we need to be their champions.

Made in America means we must invest more in infrastructure projects like building and repairing our roads, bridges and highways to create jobs and help revive the economy.

In the construction trades alone, the unemployment rate is over 30 percent.

I am fighting for a new six-year surface transportation bill to invest in the repair of our nation’s roads, bridges, highways, and transit to create or sustain six million jobs and bring up to $5 billion to Washington state.

As your representative in Congress, I am committed to ensuring that government is doing what it can to help our small businesses expand and prosper.

I’m interested in learning about your small business. Please call or email my office to share your story or if you are in need of assistance.
