Supporting Small Businesses

The opportunity to start a new business is a basic part of our country’s strength.

As a citizen I encourage the development of small businesses, the backbone of our country’s free enterprise system.

Through my life I have started and run businesses of different sizes. Knowing what is takes to keep your books balanced, knowing what it means to be responsible for making payroll for your employees who depend on you for their income, and knowing what it takes to be competitive in a competitive work place are vital to understanding small business.

I have done all of those things and have experienced the rewards of a successful business as well as its disappointments. In order to promote small business you need to experience being a small business owner. I can understand the struggles of our small business owners and I can help them.
