Kansas political leaders have come together to support a bipartisan effort to get critical COVID-19 relief funds to live event venues that have struggled due to the pandemic.
U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and Kansas Reps. Sharice Davids and Ron Estes have urged the Small Business Administration to send relief to struggling event venues that were shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A group of over 200 bipartisan members of Congress are now pushing the Small Business Administration to investigate the delays after only a handful of business owners have received funds from the Shuttered Venues Operator Grant.
The push also comes after the initial launch of the online portal to apply crashed within minutes, which left many hopefuls frustrated.
Kansas Representative Sharice Davids says the program was designed to provide critical relief to these venues, but delays have stunned its rollout.
A strong recovery from the COVID-19 crisis — which destroyed the businesses of many women, and particularly women of color — requires a deliberate investment in initiatives that drive and support female entrepreneurship, said Sharice Davids.
