James P. Hoffa, Teamsters: “With president-elect Biden and vice president-elect Harris in the White House, working families in Michigan and across the country will have true champions for the middle class. We are already speaking with the incoming administration and it is focused on putting this country back on track with policies that will help all Americans, not just the privileged few.”
Ken L. Harris, National Business League: “I believe the new administration will work to close the racial equity gap in this country and with (Harris) as the country’s first Black and woman to serve in that role, gives Michigan a fighting chance to do the same. Additionally, because of COVID-19 the 108,000 Black-owned businesses in Michigan have been severely impacted due to the pandemic, health crisis and economic shutdown, the new administration has signaled relief and access to capital for Black businesses, as a major priority.”
