Jahana Hayes: “I appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to provide us with your expertise.”

I am pleased to see the U.S. Small Business Administration approve federal assistance for parts of the Fifth District and our state.

The people of the Fifth District are looking for leaders to address the affordability crisis, cuts to healthcare, endless wars we are engaged in and so many other things.

We just have to have a different conversation, and it doesn’t mean that I think aid should be off the table, because that’s not where I am.

This project is a perfect example of what federal, state, and local partnerships can accomplish.
