I was proud to visit Plas-Tech Tooling earlier this week to personally congratulate the Sonquist Family on winning the Million Dollar Pitch Competition. Nearly all of Garner, Iowa came out to watch the show – including the next generation of the family business.

Like any entrepreneurs, this family isn’t resting on its laurels. Already, they’re breaking ground on space for the new machines their winnings will help purchase.

This is the best of Main Street: the risk-taking, the sacrifice, and the grit that built America!

Great day in Georgia highlighting SBA’s results for small businesses - from the Gwinnett Chamber to the JPMorgan Chase Make Your Move Summit.

From more access to capital and expanding the defense industrial base to fighting fraud, we’ve built a modern, results-driven SBA that delivers for America. We’re grateful to the many local leaders and lenders who help advance that mission every day.

America’s battle readiness runs through small businesses.

Yesterday, and I joined our friend at Riverside Machine & Engineering in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as part of the Arsenal of Freedom Tour to see that manufacturing strength firsthand.

Small businesses account for 70% of our defense industrial base. Through the Smaller War Plants Commission, the Trump Administration is putting the full weight of the federal government behind them, surging strategic capital to supercharge the industrial might that secures peace through strength.
