We need to level the playing field in North Carolina to ensure that underrepresented entrepreneurs have a seat at the table. That is why I am introducing the Supporting Diverse Entrepreneurs Act alongside Congresswoman Alma Adams. This bill will broaden the scope and funding for programs that support minority-owned businesses. Our bill would expand Minority Business Development Agency business centers near historically Black colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions. Doing so will help create a network of accessible business resources to help young, diverse entrepreneurs thrive. I will continue to work with every ounce of my energy to expand economic growth and opportunity, increase access to capital, and support North Carolina's small business ecosystem. ____________________
