Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., will host a telephone town hall from 1 to 2 p.m. Friday to provide an update for the Colorado small business community about the COVID-19 federal response.
Bennet will deliver opening remarks and moderate a panel discussion featuring Betsy Markey with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Glenn Plagens with the Colorado Small Business Development Center Network, and Cher Roybal Haavind with the Colorado Division of Labor and Employment.
