CÁRDENAS JOINS GOSAR IN RECOGNIZING SMALL BUSINESSES
(Washington, DC) – This week, U.S. Reps. Tony Cárdenas (D-San Fernando Valley, Calif.) and Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (R-Ariz.) introduced H.RES.246 with 39 bipartisan cosponsors, honoring the vital role of small business and the passion of entrepreneurs in the United States during “National Small Business Week”, beginning on May 4, through May 8, 2015:
“As a former small business owner, I understand how hard it is to create, operate and succeed,” said Cárdenas. “More Americans work in small businesses than anywhere else, and it is those Americans who we recognize today. Small businesses power nearly half of our economy and create more than a third of the goods and services our nation sends overseas. They create, innovate and expand our economy in ways that many Americans will never even see. These small businesses deserve our commendation for their work ethic and commitment to excellence in furthering the economic vitality of the United States.”
Congressman Gosar added, “Since the economic recession that began in December of 2007, American entrepreneurs have boldly navigated extraordinarily difficult times pursuing not only their own dreams but also serving as the economic engine that continues to power our country. I am proud to once again join Congressman Cárdenas in commemorating the courageous efforts of the 28,000,000 small businesses across the nation. By empowering small business and reducing regulatory hurdles that are shackling growth, we can once again unleash the promise of the American dream and usher in a new era of economic prosperity.”
