Senator Schumer Continues Fight for Small Business Relief

US Senate Democratic Leader and New York Senior Senator Chuck Schumer continued his fight to get COVID-19 relief for small business owners, including restaurant owners, at a press event this week in Athens, New York. Senator Schumer highlighted the provisions of the HEROES Small Business Lifeline Act.
