House Committee on Small Business Chairman Roger Williams (R-TX) and Ranking Member Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) have introduced a bipartisan resolution to recognize November 29, 2025, as Small Business Saturday. The resolution seeks to reaffirm Congress’s support for small businesses and highlight their role in the U.S. economy.
The measure points out that there are more than 36 million small businesses in the United States, which are essential for local economies, job creation, and community stability. By designating an official day, Congress aims to encourage consumers to shop at local businesses and acknowledge the contribution of entrepreneurs.
Chairman Williams stated: “The American economy is built on Main Street. As we approach the holiday season, Small Business Saturday serves as a reminder to celebrate local businesses that boost communities across the country. This resolution reaffirms this Committee’s bipartisan commitment to serve the 36 million small businesses that drive innovation, create jobs, and keep our economy competitive.”
