Ranking Member Chabot Speaks on Behalf of Small Business Relief

Today, I spoke at the House Republicans leadership press conference on behalf of my bill to extend the Paycheck Protection Program.

After visiting 70+ small businesses in Ohio’s First Congressional District, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of the program.

It’s time for Congress to get to work and pass a COVID package that contains strong small business relief measures.

Seventy-nine years ago today, more than 2,400 Americans lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. As President Roosevelt wisely predicted, December 7, 1941 was a date that “lived in infamy." But December 7th has become more than a day to remember and mourn those who died that day in Hawaii. It has also become a day to honor the spirit and resiliency of the American people who triumphed over tragedy and helped defend freedom across the globe. They were truly the "Greatest Generation," and we owe them more than we can ever possibly repay. #PearlHarbor #GreatestGeneration

I was saddened to learn earlier this week that renowned economics professor and columnist Walter Williams passed away at the age of 84. I was a big fan. This photo was taken about 30 years ago when I had the pleasure of meeting him at a benefit at Ms. Mims’ Marva Collins School in Roselawn.

Ranking Member Chabot Remarks on Restarting the Paycheck Protection Program

Yesterday afternoon, I spoke on the House floor in support of my bill to reopen the Paycheck Protection Program. From mom and pop shops to local manufacturers and everything in between, our nation’s small businesses strengthen our communities and our economy.

Sadly, too many of them are still hurting. PPP loans have supported over 50 million jobs so far—that’s 50 million people in Cincinnati and across America who were able to pay their bills and support their families.

Further delay by Congress jeopardizes small businesses and their employees, who cannot wait until the political logjam has cleared. I urge my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers, to come together and pass a common sense relief package.

Click below to watch my remarks:

The Paycheck Protection Program has bipartisan backing, and supported millions of #SmallBiz jobs.

There is over $130 billion in remaining PPP funds.

I have introduced legislation that would reopen the program and ensure aid reaches the small businesses that need it most.

12/03/2020

I’ve visited over 70 small businesses in my district, many of whom received help through PPP loans. Unfortunately, many small businesses across our nation and our community are still struggling.

My bill, HR 8265, would reopen the Paycheck Protection Program and send relief to mom and pop shops.

Happy Veterans Day to all of the men and women who have served, and are serving, in our nation's armed services. We, as a nation, owe you tremendous gratitude for your willingness to serve and protect the ideals we hold so dear.

Since it is Veterans Day, I thought I'd share photos of my two grandfathers, both of whom served during WWI. My dad's dad is seen here (on the left side in the black and white photo) in his air warden uniform during World War II. My mom's dad is the one with the rifle. I also thought I would share a picture of my dad who served in France, England, and Germany during World War II.

God bless each man and woman we honor today, as well as their families and loved ones! And God bless America!
