Dear Friend,

It’s National Small Business Week! Small businesses drive our local economy, create jobs and enhance our community. It’s so important for me to listen to feedback from local small business owners and to support policies that foster their growth.

That’s why, this week, I was honored to host the Dallas and Richardson Chambers of Commerce in Washington! We discussed ways to work together to deliver on infrastructure, education and more for North Texas.

Hosting the Richardson Chamber of Commerce in Washington this week.

Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve been an advocate for small businesses. I helped pass lifeline programs like the Paycheck Protection Program, the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and the Shuttered Venues Operators Grant so that our small businesses could keep their doors open during the pandemic. I co-chair the Supply Chain Caucus and helped pass the CHIPS Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to shore up supply chains, bring manufacturing back to America and create jobs here in Texas.

If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur, you can find resources, including information on grants and small business loans, at SBA.gov. If you run into any issues working with the Small Business Administration, my office may be able to help. Give us a call at (972) 972-7949.

Meeting with members of the Dallas Regional Chamber this week.

It’s an honor to serve North Texas, where I was born and raised.

Sincerely,

Colin Allred
Member of Congress
