I will continue to reach across the aisle to deliver results for small businesses and ensure they have the support they need to recover from this public health emergency.”

Donohue, CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “As we rebuild our economy, legislators must lead by pursuing bipartisan solutions that create jobs and promote a free enterprise system.
