Tipton Blasts Senate Democrats for Politicizing Small Business Relief

Statement

Date: April 9, 2020
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Business and Consumers

Congressman Scott Tipton (CO-03) provided the following statement after Congressional Democrats stalled efforts to provide additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program:

"As small businesses scramble to find relief for their employees and their families, Congressional Democrats are bringing out the worst in Washington by stalling an emergency increase to the Paycheck Protection Program. Many small businesses are uncertain whether there will be enough funds available by the time their emergency loan application gets considered. Given the scale of the economic shutdown, Congress must be responsive to these concerns and take action to ensure that these critical employers and their employees are not shut out just because Congressional Democrats are engaging in petty political theater. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi need to put their divisive politics aside and prioritize helping American families and small businesses now, many of whom are unsure of when their next paycheck is going to come."
