Congressional Challenge: The Opportunity Builders
Small businesses have been in survival mode for years. One crisis bled into the next—supply chains snapped, prices soared, workers disappeared. The strain on American entrepreneurs has reshaped local economies and made long-term growth harder to achieve.
That’s why we launched the Opportunity Builder Challenge: to call on Members of Congress to make small businesses a priority and become stronger champions for the entrepreneurs they represent.
We’re recognizing Members who are taking meaningful action to support small businesses by convening local entrepreneurs, championing solutions that expand access to capital and markets, and amplifying the role of business ownership in their communities.
We’ll be updating this regularly with activities from the 119th Congress.
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA)
Representative Dina Titus (D-NV-03)
Representative Kweisi Mfume (D-MD-07)
Representative Johnny Olszewski (D-MD-02)
