This week was Small Business Week, a time when we applaud the men and women who embody the entrepreneurial spirit that makes this country great.

The 6th District is home to many great small businesses, and I’m lucky to have met many of our business owners. They share a common drive to create and build and to add to the community around them. They are an inspiration to us all.
