On Friday, March 1, Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Durham, NC to continue her work on advancing economic opportunity, uplifting small businesses, and building a strong economy for all Americans. During her 10th trip to the state since being sworn in, the Vice President will discuss the Biden-Harris Administration's historic investments in strengthening entrepreneurship, increasing access to capital, and supporting small businesses throughout the country including in underserved communities. This visit is part of the Administration's Investing in America tour, and Vice President Harris will be joined by Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
This will be the Vice President's second trip to North Carolina this year. Last month, she visited a Charlotte-area school to announce an additional $285 million in funding to help schools across the country hire and train mental health counselors. The funding was a result of the historic Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years.
