In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and in support of Illinois’s Latino business community, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship, visited the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood and held a roundtable with small business owners to emphasize her commitment to supporting entrepreneurs. Duckworth, along with U.S. Small Business Administrator Isabella Guzman and U.S. Representative Jesús Chuy García (D-IL-4) discussed their efforts to empower underrepresented entrepreneurs in the face of COVID-19 and how several Small Business Administration’s (SBA) federal pandemic relief programs have helped and can continue doing so.
