BERLIN — Exile Burrito Restaurant owner Adam Hammill was U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan’s virtual guest for President Biden’s first speech before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night.

Hammill said he had spoken to Hassan (D-N.H.) in the fall of 2020 about how his business did not qualify for any of the state and federal COVID-19 relief money because it was a new business. In a follow-up discussion, the two talked again about how to provide relief to start-up businesses like his that were struggling because of the pandemic.
