Small Business, Jobs, and the Economy

I know how important it is to grow our economy from the middle out and bottom up. That means investing in America, empowering workers, and lowering costs.

Small businesses power our economy in Burlington, Mercer and Monmouth County and are the heart of local communities. Many of our neighbors live, work, own, support, and do business with small businesses each and every day. And most New Jersey businesses qualify as a small business. That’s why I believe that when our small businesses succeed, our communities succeed and I’m dedicated to being a voice for New Jersey entrepreneurs in Congress.

I’m also proud to have helped supercharge our economic recovery after the pandemic. Together, the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act are unleashing unprecedented investments in America from both the public and private sector. We’re investing in rebuilding New Jersey’s D+ rated infrastructure, boosting manufacturing, and innovating for the clean energy future. To grow our economy, support New Jersey small businesses and create more good-paying jobs, I have:

  • Voted to pass the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create good-paying jobs;
  • Introduced legislation to cut bureaucratic red tape and give our small business owners the resources they need to grow, including access to capital, local contracting, & grant opportunities;
  • Voted to pass the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act to lower costs for families, while boosting American manufacturing and creating good paying jobs;
  • Voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which is lowering healthcare costs for Americans while also investing in our clean energy future;
  • Voted to pass COVID relief legislation that created programs like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Restaurant Revitalization Fund that helped keep more than 10,000 local small businesses afloat through the pandemic; and
  • Helped hundreds of local small businesses through tough times and resolving issues with the federal government, including securing Economic Injury Disaster Loans and PPP.
