October 21, 2019

Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy:

The Main Street Alliance is a national network of small businesses who engage on important public policy issues that work for business owners, their employees, and the communities they serve. We represent 30,000 small business owners across the country and write to urge you to support the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019 (H.R. 2513). This bill, which would help curb tax evasion, corruption, and fraud facilitated by anonymous shell companies, is central to this mission.

Small businesses fear losing critical protections for pre-existing conditions

Washington, DC –As President Trump tries to distract from his sabotage of the Affordable Care Act with this health care announcement and executive order this week, Executive Director of the Main Street Alliance, Amanda Ballantyne had this to say:

“With the decision on the Texas v US ACA lawsuit eminent, President Trump’s new Medicare plan doubles down on his support for the private insurance industry and seeks to expand privatization of the Medicare program. 

Washington, DC - As Nancy Pelosi officially calls for an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump today, the Executive Director of the Main Street Alliance, Amanda Ballantyne, had this to say:

“Main Street Alliance supports Speaker Pelosi’s decision to investigate President Trump’s recent interactions with the Ukrainian government.  Our federal government must do everything that it can to protect the integrity of US elections. As the investigation moves forward, Main Street Alliance small business owners are hopeful that accountability is a priority, and look forward to moving on from this tumultuous season of politics towards more transparency from this administration.”
