Occurrences
Evidence
The official press release list shows Hassan reintroduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen workforce training and business partnerships on May 20, 2026.
During National Small Business Week, Hassan and a Manchester small business owner discussed tariff-related challenges to small businesses.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Hassan engaged on small-business issues and reintroduced bipartisan business-support legislation in 2026, but it does not specifically document support for SBA Small Business Development Centers or an expansion of the SBA Growth Accelerator Fund Competition. Because the promise is program-specific and the record provided does not show enactment, sponsorship, or other material advancement of those exact SBA initiatives, the claim cannot be credited as delivered or partial on this evidence alone.
