The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to support the development of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business expansion throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland by providing a comprehensive resource for incubating business ideas, leveraging new markets, taking advantage of new opportunities, and advocating for policies that help us grow.

The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce thanks every veteran and their family today. We honor the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, who served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. They were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014. Puerto Ricans have a long record of service in the U.S. Armed Forces, and we are grateful for all who have served.

El nuevo Congreso que asume en enero marcará la agenda de las pequeñas empresas durante los próximos dos años. Según la Associated Press, los demócratas tendrán mayorías en la Cámara y el Senado; algunas carreras aún no han sido declaradas. La NPRCC trabaja con miembros de ambos partidos. Vigilaremos el acceso al capital, la supervisión de la SBA, los contratos federales, la recuperación ante desastres que trate a Puerto Rico como un socio de pleno derecho, y el costo de la cobertura de salud.

The new Congress that takes office in January will shape the small business agenda for the next two years. According to the Associated Press, Democrats will hold majorities in the House and Senate; some races remain uncalled. NPRCC works with members of both parties. We will watch access to capital, SBA oversight, federal contracting, disaster recovery that treats Puerto Rico as a full partner, and the cost of health coverage. Read more:

NPRCC sent a letter in support of H.R. 9595, the Sergeant First Class Jorge Otero Barreto Medal of Honor Act. A native of Vega Baja, he served in the U.S. Army from 1959 to 1970, carried out 200 combat missions in Vietnam, and received 38 decorations, including two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars. We respectfully urge the House Armed Services Committee to take up the bill before this Congress ends. Read our letter:

Census data helps small businesses decide where to open, hire, and invest. That is why NPRCC submitted comments on the Census Bureau's proposed 2030 Census rule.

The proposal does not mention Puerto Rico, ties residence to federal tax records that many island residents are generally not required to file, and would remove the Hispanic origin question that has included a "Puerto Rican" option since 1980.
