There could not be a worse time to slam the door on small businesses in New Hampshire and throughout the country as they seek help to pay their employees and keep their lights on. 2/3

It is critical that Congress work with the SBA to understand the scale of this funding gap and swiftly appropriate additional funds for the PPP so all entities who are eligible can receive a loan through May 31. 3/3 https://t.co/DNjPM8ZFAC

PPP is out of money well ahead of the deadline and has closed applications to most borrowers. It should not have gotten to this point, and that’s why I called for action on this two weeks ago to ensure everyone who is eligible can get a loan. https://t.co/NNQ37cORPy 1/3

While I am pleased that President Trump has finally signed the COVID-19 relief and government funding legislation into law, he should never held up this crucial bill that Congress negotiated with his administration on a bipartisan basis. https://t.co/VidsbZDNbq

This package is a bridge to next year, and we will need additional federal support to ensure that we can soundly defeat this virus, rebuild our economy, get our communities back on their feet.

I will continue to push leaders in both parties to put politics aside and focus on the people we serve. This package reflects the kind of compromise I’ve advocated for and we must see more of this the months ahead.

This legislation includes provisions I've fought for including expanded eligibility for PPP loans for small businesses and small non-profits and increased flexibility for small businesses.

It will also expedite critical NH infrastructure projects, support clean water resources, expand international medical partnerships, develop a clean energy economy, and provide more and better care for veterans and military families. Learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/W5pFY221xW

Veterans who have served our country shouldn't have to face yet another battle to get care when their service ends. And community care providers shouldn't face a complicated and inefficient bureaucracy that forces them to lose time and money. https://t.co/uosdDlqPAW

Today I visited Senior Helpers. a VA Community Care Network provider in Stratham. The VA owned them over $100,000 for care to our veterans. My office has worked to get their claims paid, and I'm fighting to ensure all providers are paid in a timely manner under the MISSION Act. https://t.co/ivQ0BUGRDT

I've heard from small business owners and workers - the backbone of our economy. Business as usual has been obliterated because of this pandemic. This legislation will get support to our smallest businesses so they can pay staff, keep their lights on, and stay afloat.

I've called on Congress to take action because New Hampshire families, communities, and small businesses need help now. They can’t afford more delays. I urge the Senate to take up this bill and conduct further negotiations if necessary so we can get this job done.

I've heard from mayors, frontline workers, police chiefs, and teachers. They're stepping up to keep us safe. It's time we had their backs. This legislation would make sure our cities and towns do not have to resort to cutting services, making layoffs, or increasing taxes.

I voted to pass a revised Heroes Act tonight because of hundreds of conversations I've had with Granites Staters. They're working hard, they're making do, but they need our help. It is time we put aside politics to get Americans the help they need. https://t.co/SJnOJYABd2
