Hagan Urges North Carolinians to Join in Small Business Saturday

Statement

U.S. Senator Kay Hagan, a member of the Senate Small Business Committee, co-sponsored a resolutiondesignating November 30th, 2013 as "Small Business Saturday' and issued the following statement encouraging North Carolinians to participate:

"North Carolina is home to more than 800,000 small businesses, and they play a vital role in creating jobs and building economic opportunity in our local communities across the state. Small business owners are our friends and neighbors, and their entrepreneurial spirit is critical to revitalizing our North Carolina economy and advancing our recovery. That is why I formed a Small Business Advisory Committee earlier this year to advise me on key legislative issues and make me a better advocate for small business success. I am committed to supporting policy ideas that will help our small businesses grow and thrive: closing the skills gap in our workforce, reducing unnecessary federal regulations, boosting trade export opportunities and expanding access to capital. I hope North Carolinians will join me in heading down to Main Street this Saturday to show our support for local small businesses."
