“The Paycheck Protection Program has been vital for small businesses and their employees. It helps small businesses pay their bills and puts paychecks in the pockets of Michigan workers,” said Congressman Moolenaar. “Right now, many small businesses are still hurting from the shutdowns and the public health crisis, and they need help. There’s money Congress has already approved to help them, but Speaker Pelosi and many House Democrats won’t let them apply for it. I am fighting to fix this with legislation that will re-open the Paycheck Protection Program and help Michigan small businesses receive more funding. I urge Speaker Pelosi to bring this legislation to the floor for a vote."
