Garcia To Host Virtual PPP Webinar For Small Businesses In Santa Clarita

Congressman Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, is set to host a series of virtual discussions on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) where businesses can sign in and ask questions. 

The webinar discussions are open to small business owners and administrators within California’s 25th Congressional District (CA-25), with Santa Clarita’s webinar scheduled for Thursday Jan. 28 at 11 a.m., according to a statement from Garcia’s office. 

“Far too many small businesses in California’s 25th District have been financially harmed by the government-mandated lockdowns,” Garcia said. “The Paycheck Protection Program has helped many Small Businesses in California and across America survive during these trying times.”  

Garcia is expected to be joined by a senior policy expert from the House Small Business Committee, the committee that helped create and now oversees the implementation of the PPP.

Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer, the Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee is also expected to also join during the conversation, according to Garcia.

During the discussion, Garcia and the policy expert from the U.S. House Small Business Committee are set to deliver a review and update on the PPP and then open it up to questions from local small businesses owners and administrators.  

“I am pleased Congress was able to refund and reopen this program. I look forward to hearing from Small Business owners and administrators in the district to learn what is working, what isn’t working and answer any questions they may have,” Garcia said. “I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that our community combats and recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and that we can safely and quickly open up.” 

Garcia recently voted to provide additional funding to the PPP, which reopened earlier this month. Prior to Congress reauthorizing the program, the Small Business Administration (SBA) distributed over $525 billion to over 5,400 lenders across America, according to officials.

Interested CA-25 Small Business Owners and Administrators must RSVP to Chelsea Orzechowski at Chelsea.Orzechowski@mail.house.gov by the close of business on the day prior to the discussion they wish to attend in order to receive the link to the virtual discussion.

  1. It seems like it woulda’ been a super convenient bit of writing to include the link to sign up for and participate in the PPP webinar.

  2. I am grateful that government is striving to help small businesses. It’s not socialism when the government provides assistance to citizens who are suffering a calamity. Other countries are doing much more!
