Recognizing Local Chambers of Commerce

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, we often speak about how Congress can help small businesses grow, but the true hard work is being done on Main Streets across this Nation.

In the Sound Shore region of Westchester, businessowners are advancing their own businesses and finding time to lead local Chambers of Commerce, implementing programs and events that promote their business districts. From Mistletoe Magic in Rye to the downtown farmers market in Scarsdale, sidewalk sales in Larchmont and Mamaroneck, these entrepreneurs are driving revenue and profits with creativity and energy.

Let me recognize the work of these local leaders: Catherine White, New Rochelle; Michael Murphy, Mamaroneck; Brian Jackson, Rye; Ralph Karkout in Harrison; Cammie Morrissey and Fritz Falanka, Port Chester, Rye Brook, Rye Town; Gina Proia and Nancy White, Larchmont; Marcy Berman-Goldstein and Ken Giddon, Scarsdale Business Alliance; Anne Gold and Marc Jerome, New Rochelle Business Improvement District.

Mr. Speaker, in future speeches, I will recognize leaders in the Bronx and along the Hudson River communities of Westchester. We salute them all.
