Friend --

I wanted to make sure you had a chance to read my op-ed that appeared in The Bakersfield Californian. I highlight the importance of directing federal COVID-19 stimulus funds to small businesses, farms, and minority-owned businesses.

Read the Op-ed >> [link removed]

Dozens of small businesses and farms in my district and across the country have been shut out of COVID-19 stimulus relief. It's unfair, and it's a detriment to our broader relief efforts.

That's why in the last few weeks I've advocated for an increase in funds for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) -- which give critical financial assistance to businesses in rural areas like the Central Valley. I also helped secure $19 billion to support farmers and ranchers during this crisis.

There's much more work to do, and I outline additional actions that we need to take in the op-ed. You can read it here >> [link removed]

More soon,

TJ
