Chairman Williams' Statement on Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. - House Committee on Small Business Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25) released the following statement after the federal government lapsed in funding:

"The House Committee on Small Business had planned a full October agenda to strengthen Main Street, yet with government funding at a standstill, America's 36 million small businesses will pay the price," said Chairman Williams. "The House-passed continuing resolution included vital measures to protect small businesses' access to capital and ensure continuity for programs that entrepreneurs depend on. By voting against this clean funding extension, Democrats have left Main Street without certainty. House Republicans remain committed to reopening the government, delivering stability, and securing the resources that small businesses need to power our economy."
