text: Great to see Puyallup's Denis Gray Trucking Inc. receive national recognition from the U.S. Small Business Administration as Washington's Family-owned Small Business of the Year. Congratulations to Denis' son Michael for his success. http://www.thenewstribune.com/2014/04/30/3173546/puyallup-trucking-firm-denis-gray.html  As a small business owner, I know the determination it takes to stay open. More than half of Americans own or work for a small business, and we all benefit from their innovations, job creation, and ability to make the U.S. more competitive globally. I support tax credits that help South Sound small businesses hire more employees and support renewal of the Export-Import Bank to give small firms access to foreign markets.
