I know this is a hard time for our small businesses and for our Americans all across our country.
It is important that we enforce those standards and make sure that folks are following them.
We know that more investment from the federal level is needed to address the childcare crisis.
As the Congresswoman from Iowa's 1st Congressional District, I know firsthand that for our small businesses, the ability to access new markets and export goods promotes economic successes at home and in our communities.
