WASHINGTON—On May 2, Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) issued the following statement recognizing April 30, 2023, to May 5, 2023, as “National Small Business Week.”

 “This week, we celebrate the determination, ingenuity, and success of 2.8 million Florida businesses owners and entrepreneurs who have chartered their own course to provide jobs and a bright future for millions of Florida workers. 

Across the state, small businesses are the cornerstone of the communities they serve. As a former small business owner, I know firsthand the burdens small businesses face. That’s why as your voice in Washington and member of the House Small Business Committee, I’m committed to restoring small business optimism and advancing solutions to make it easier for owners to invest, hire, and watch their enterprises grow. On National Small Business Week, I’m proud to highlight our hardworking patriots for their contributions to our economy and nation’s prosperity.”
