    We're making progress, but many women-owned businesses still don't have equal access to economic opportunity. They're a $3T economic force and support 23M jobs. Yet, women account for just $1 of every $23 in small business lending, despite representing 30% of all small companies.

    ICYMI: Typical of this administration, wants to suppress science so he can gut health and environmental protections. Pruitt’s ethical violations and dangerous agenda put Americans at risk, and I'm calling for his immediate resignation.
