How long can a small business survive without income? Three weeks? Four weeks? Many of us are learning the hard way. Kansans are no strangers to hardships. Kansas was forged in plagues, droughts and blood. We adapt. But now, most Kansas small businesses have gone three weeks or more with little or no income. Every day, Washington promises relief – that NEVER comes. I speak from personal experience. It’s been more than three weeks since I was one of the first applicants for emergency SBA (Small Business Administration) relief (EIDL) that promised to help keep small businesses afloat during the crisis. The paperwork I completed said the loans would be processed within THREE DAYS. THREE WEEKS later, I finally received a response. It was an email telling me that the rules had changed. By then, the SBA was OUT OF MONEY. The PPP (Paycheck protection program) was billed as a way that small businesses could keep employees on their payrolls. Small proprietors could begin applying April 12. But before the little guys’ applications could even be processed – and before I could even apply - the program had been TAPPED OUT by large corporations. This is the story of rural Kansas and the SBA and federal programs for decades. The largest companies and coastal communities get the cash, and we get the bill. Like you, I’m tired of standing by while the big guys get bigger, taking more and more resources, while we, the people who grow their food and help provide them with clean air and water, are left to fend for ourselves. It's why we need one of US in Washington. We need someone who has lived in rural Kansas for decades and understands communities and small businesses. I am running for Congress to give us a seat at the table as the nation works through these crises and rebuilds for the future.
