Issue Position: Small Businesses

Issue Position

Small businesses are responsible for creating over 60% of all new jobs and are the backbone of our local economy. They are integral to our nation's economic recovery and I strongly support policies that help Americans start, grow, and sustain small businesses.

Small businesses lead the way with cutting-edge innovations and home-grown ingenuity. By employing local workers, these businesses help stimulate demand for goods and services. We must ensure the viability of small businesses given their role as robust economic engines within our communities.

To assist small businesses I will fight for access to better credit sources for new and existing companies seeking to expand operations. I encourage lenders to provide small businesses with the credit necessary to operate, expand, and add jobs. Small businesses also need fair tax relief which will provide necessary investments in future growth.

There is nothing small about small business commitment to our community or their impact on the nation. Within the 11th Congressional District of Ohio, small businesses have often led our economic recovery and prosperity, and I am committed to helping them grow and thrive.
