Across the country, many people will begin their holiday shopping just after Thanksgiving on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But Small Business Saturday, November 29, gives us an opportunity to celebrate and support the locally owned shops in our communities. Small businesses make our neighborhood great. They give our communities character and drive our local economy. I am proud to support our small businesses as a shopper and as a member of the Committee on Small Business here in Congress. When we shop at a small business, almost half the money we spend stays in our community and supports local jobs. So this holiday season, remember to shop small. It does big things for our community. ____________________
