Despite still not having spent all the funds in the last reconciliation bill, we are now rushing to consider the most significant single spending bill in our history.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft a relief package that meets the challenge of this moment.

I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to take Republican amendments into serious consideration, and provide common sense, bipartisan relief to main street.

Democrats claim to be interested in solving America's small business issues with bipartisan solutions, when in reality the left is attempting to use that false narrative as a back door to enact their own Bernie Sanders Socialist wish list.

The partisan path you are taking will not help small businesses. In the end it will only kick them while they are already down.

Just yesterday, Speaker Pelosi, a Democrat, said that the Democrats would only pay for half of what they are spending through the reconciliation.

The Democrats' true colors came to light early on in February's markup as topics of great importance were drafted without our thoughts or ideas.

This legislative package also fails to address the fraud in the SBA programs.

The American entrepreneur, not this administration's checkbook, is our country's greatest asset.

Small businesses can lead this recovery but they must be given the opportunity to do so in their own way.

The Biden administration seems relentless in its attempt to destroy small businesses.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. They spur innovation, provide the majority of jobs, and keep America's uniquely entrepreneurial spirit thriving.

I am concerned that the critical information about CMMC is being conveyed in a conflicting and potentially informal manner.

Adding stringent cybersecurity requirements will be a costly endeavor for small businesses that are already recovering from a pandemic.

I am deeply concerned that the CMMC has created yet another hurdle to keep small businesses from competing in the defense marketplace.

The longer you are in politics, the harder it is because, you know, supporters come and go, enemies accumulate.

The fact is, is that every 2 years, it is very tribal, and it is one side against another side, and it is very--it is a team.

Being a freshman is tough. Being a freshman in minority is even tougher.

I am interested in finding out a couple of things.

The enhanced unemployment benefits have had very large negative impacts and effect on small employers' ability to hire staff.

Safeguarding American taxpayer dollars will remain a high priority for me.

It was crafted with zero Republican input.

The plan got right. It created the RRF, which is a lifeline to struggling restaurants across the nation.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration waited until early April to implement this program...

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts as to how we can improve both of these programs.
