Comment by Maria Cantwell
U.S. Senator from Washington
Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and AI has the potential to help them maximize opportunities. As AI tools become more accessible and more powerful, we need to make sure entrepreneurs in Washington state and across the country have the training and technical support they need to integrate these tools to better compete, grow and create jobs in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

Verified. This is Sen. Maria Cantwell's statement from the Feb 2026 reintroduction of the bipartisan Cantwell-Moran Small Business AI Training Act, matching the source_url (commerce.senate.gov/2026/2/...). WebFetch returned HTTP 403 (Senate site blocks the fetcher), but a web search corroborated the press release at exactly that URL and confirmed Cantwell's verbatim statement that small businesses are the foundation of the economy, AI can help them maximize opportunities, and entrepreneurs need training and technical support to integrate AI tools to compete, grow and create jobs. The quote supports incentivizing AI adoption to enhance workforce talent, so the "for" vote on the statement correctly aligns. Year (2026), author attribution, and vote direction all check out.
