Scott Tipton talks with Mike Hartkop, co-owner of Solar Roast Coffee in Pueblo)\nPUEBLO, CO\u2014Today, Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO) visited Main Street to encourage local small businesses to participate in Small Business Saturday, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving when Holiday shoppers turn out to support businesses in their communities.\nTipton, a House Small Business Subcommittee Chairman and founder of the Congressional Small Business Caucus, visited with members of the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation (PEDCO) and toured Solar Roast Coffee to discuss ways to encourage business growth and job creation in Pueblo, hear about what\u2019s working locally, and share information about resources and tools available free to small businesses for Small Business Saturday.\n \n\t\u201cGetting feedback from job-creators and those engaged on the frontlines of economic development is invaluable as we work in Washington to ensure that government is helping, not hurting small business growth. Main Street Pueblo is a prime example of how small businesses play a vital role in the health of the local economy and strength of the community. Businesses like Solar Roast Coffee have found innovative ways to bring their communities unique, high quality products and services not found anywhere else, and have created jobs and economic growth in the process. That\u2019s something to be proud of,\u201d said Tipton. \u201cSmall Business Saturday is a great way for the community to show support for local job-creators while getting a jump on Holiday shopping.\u00a0 There are many resources, including marketing tools and tips, available through the Small Business Administration free to businesses that wish to participate.\u201d\n \nFor more information including a list of participating local retailers, and free promotional materials available to businesses, visit: https://www.sba.gov/saturday.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://tipton.house.gov/press-release/tipton-takes-main-street-promote-small-businesses"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9444279130548239, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
