Compared with: enact tax relief for small businesses, create good-paying jobs, and restore America as a manufacturing powerhouse
The stated priority is about tax relief for small businesses, job creation, and manufacturing. The cosponsored bill instead creates federal protections against unauthorized digital replicas and sets notice/takedown and liability rules. That is a different policy area, so there is no direct substantive connection to the specific tax/manufacturing goal.
“Adam has always believed that small businesses are the true engine of growth, and he continues to fight to enact tax relief for small businesses, to create good-paying jobs, and to restore America as a manufacturing powerhouse.”

Compared with: ensuring our small businesses and smallbusiness owners have access to affordable lending and capital access programs and receive critical support in the aftermath of natural disasters
The stated policy goal is about affordable lending, capital access programs, and disaster support for small businesses. The cosponsored bill instead creates federal rights against unauthorized digital replicas and related notice/takedown rules. The bill text does not address small-business lending, capital access, or disaster relief, so there is no direct substantive connection to the claimed goal.
“As a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, he is dedicated to ensuring our small businesses and smallbusiness owners have access to affordable lending and capital access programs and receive critical support in the aftermath of natural disasters.”
