I apologize for going so far up the chain, but I struggled to find a Legislative/Congressional Affairs contact. Please let me know if there's a better POC to ask. I'm reaching out because I have a persistent constituent who reaches out about the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program that the US DOT administers. There are a couple of Executive Orders that I wondered if it impacted the DBE...I've seen conflicting opinions online, but figured I'd go straight to the source. Any chance you could shed light as to the current status of the DBE program? Any direction is helpful! Thank you, Kolby Kolby DeWitt I Outreach Director United States Senator Joni K.
