We’ve cut red tape and sped up permitting time so that small businesses and entrepreneurs can get started faster and earn an income sooner.
This administration is making sure that government is finally working at the speed of business.

Food should never be a political bargaining chip, especially at a time where we’re seeing record lay-offs, grocery prices rising, and economic instability because of the actions of the Trump administration.
