Minneapolis city council has destroyed it.

I must reiterate the disastrous effects of the defund the police movement.

The local governments in big cities across this nation abandoned small businesses. It is plain and simple.

In the summer of 2020 civil unrest plagued cities across this nation and our small businesses paid the price.

I just want to publicly thank our lending institutions that helped so many businesses stay afloat.

We can't rule, or have SBA and this administrator rule with a heavy hand.

That is the heavy hand of the government that I will fight against tooth and nail.

I have really, really strong concerns about the leadership at the SBA under Administrator Guzman.

Just because someone has a mental or physical disability does not mean they are less of a human, or have less of a right to fly than you and I.

By catering to activists' anti-jobs, anti-mining crowd, the Obama-Biden administration pulled long-standing mineral leases for Twin Metals.

It does not make sense to transition to alternative sources of energy, depending on foreign nations for these critical minerals.

We need to limit our foreign reliance on child labor and foreign adversaries that don't have our best interests at heart.

It is the actions of this administration that empowers these activists currently doing damage in my district and others throughout the country.

Thousands of dangerous protesters, led by Democrat Party stalwarts like Jane Fonda, are being bussed in from Hollywood.

Construction of the new Line 3 will not only help in our efforts for energy independence, but will supply countless jobs.

Has the Biden administration proposed rolling back the Section 198 deduction on these pass-through incomes, thus potentially increasing taxes on some 95 percent of small businesses that are organized as pass-through businesses?

Has the Biden administration proposed increasing the corporate tax rate, thus increasing taxes on these one hundreds of thousands small businesses that are organized as a subchapter C corporation?

It is just unconscionable that she is not here, blatantly not following the law which says, I think, a lot about the individual.

I am extremely frustrated with Secretary Treasurer Yellen not following the law.

Is that a yes or a no?

On day one of this administration, Joe Biden destroyed thousands of jobs at the stroke of a pen. One of these jobs was held by my constituent, Patrick Thorssen, an operating engineer and a member of Local 49. By stopping the Keystone XL…
