Assemblyman John McGowan (R,C-Rockland) supported a resolution in the Assembly Chamber yesterday, May 9, 2023, proclaiming April 30 - May 6, 2023 as Small Business Week in New York. McGowan currently serves as Ranking Minority Member of the Assembly Small Business Committee, where they carry out development programs, opportunities and grants in order to improve the overall performance of businesses throughout New York.

“I’m glad New York gave the attention needed to small businesses across the state– they are the backbone of our economy and helping them thrive in our communities takes a group effort. Whether it’s shopping locally, leaving a good review or helping them receive attention, every bit helps them. As the Ranking Member of the Small Business Committee, I am proud to recognize hard-working entrepreneurs and will continue advocating for their success, and remember– shop local,” said McGowan.
