No one could have predicted all that we would have faced together since I took office & their leadership & expertise during these challenging times have undoubtedly made NV a better State. I look forward to watching their next steps as they continue their incredible careers. — PolitiTweet.org

I am forever appreciative of the steadfast service, guidance & friendship Michelle & Scott have provided in my time as Governor. They have been with me from the start, & they have held the public’s interest at the forefront of what they do every day. I will miss them tremendously https://t.co/w847zFM92Q — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier today, the owner of @jojosjerky joined me for a discussion about the success of NV’s small business grants program & how we will keep pushing forward to find new & innovative ways to help small businesses succeed. Tonight, I dropped by to pick up some delicious jerky. https://t.co/vBzwe80A66 — PolitiTweet.org

I want one thing abundantly clear: The State of Nevada is not done helping small businesses. In fact, we’re just getting started. Small businesses are the backbone of Nevada’s economy, and I’m going to do everything I can to help them thrive in our economic recovery. https://t.co/oiK4GHYH18 — PolitiTweet.org

I want to provide a brief breakdown of this work: More 4,900 businesses classified as disadvantaged were awarded funds – more on that in a moment. More than 600 bars and restaurants were awarded funds And we helped more than 600 nonprofits and more than 200 organizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Overnight, Treasurer @ZConine and @DiversifyNevada Director Michael Brown assembled a small but dedicated team that worked nights, weekends, and made thousands of phone calls to get small businesses the resources they needed to get by. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Simply put, this was the LARGEST small business program in Nevada history. It saved a countless number of jobs and made it so many of our small businesses could see a light at the end of tunnel. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We will distribute the final funds in the coming days, but in total, almost 9,400 small businesses & non-profit organizations were able to receive assistance under this program which helped them make payroll, pay the rent, & keep their doors open throughout the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I fought tirelessly over the last year to increase funding for this vital program & after a lot of hard work over 8 months, I’m proud to report that we’ve now approved $102 million in PETS grant applications and have already distributed over $101 million into our community. https://t.co/jAhLlW1PD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Initially, we had allocated $20 million of federal relief funds for this program, but it became abundantly clear that we had to do more to support the businesses across our State who were struggling. — PolitiTweet.org

In NV, aviation supports nearly 400,000 travel-related jobs across our State representing, 31 percent of private-sector jobs. In Clark County, airports help support 1 in 4 jobs.   Let’s continue to focus on recovering the full value that airports & air travel provide! https://t.co/BrMHiCsjXP — PolitiTweet.org

As a nation, we are already seeing passenger volume rebounding at airports across the country, including here in Las Vegas. We saw 3.5 million passengers in May, and I believe June’s total should be even greater! https://t.co/DG4VWV7fse — PolitiTweet.org
