"Small businesses are the backbone of our communities and economy, and many of these businesses rely on support from the Small Business Administration to operate. Every day the government is shut down, critical access to capital provided by the Small Business Administration will be delayed, forcing Virginia small businesses who rely on this funding to make tough decisions about how they're going to continue to stay open. The only reason we're in this position is because of a small but loud group of members in the House who are refusing to fund the government if they don't get everything they want. We remain committed to working in a bipartisan way to fund the government as quickly as possible."
