Oppose Disruptive Relocation of SBA Offices in H.R. 2931

To: Rep. Jayapal

From: A constituent in Seattle, WA

June 4

The Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025 (H.R. 2931) aims to direct the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate certain SBA offices from sanctuary jurisdictions. However, this bill would only create unnecessary disruption and inefficiency for the SBA's operations. Relocating offices would incur substantial costs and logistical challenges, ultimately hindering the SBA's ability to effectively serve small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, providing employment opportunities and driving innovation across communities. The SBA plays a crucial role in supporting these businesses through access to capital, counseling, and contracting opportunities. Any measures that undermine the SBA's ability to carry out its mission efficiently would be detrimental to the very businesses it is tasked with assisting. Furthermore, targeting specific jurisdictions based on their policies regarding immigration enforcement raises constitutional concerns and sets a concerning precedent for federal overreach into local matters. Instead of creating divisiveness, we should strive for policies that foster a conducive environment for small business growth and success nationwide. I urge you to consider the potential negative consequences of H.R. 2931 on small businesses and the economy as a whole. A more constructive approach would be to invest in strengthening the SBA's resources and capabilities to better serve all communities, regardless of their local policies. The focus should be on empowering small businesses, not hindering the agency dedicated to their support.
