I am inspired by the homegrown creativity and entrepreneurship at work in our communities and will work for concrete changes to support it further:

BROADBAND ACCESS - We need broadband everywhere in the county. It is a minimum requirement for attracting and growing businesses, not to mention being critical for education and tele-medicine.

NETWORKS OF SUPPORT - We need to better connect our small business leaders and entrepreneurs with networks of support including peers, advisors, potential customers, and investors.

PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP - We can work with our Universities to promote rural economic development and we need to access more private and public capital to invest in the growth of our local businesses.
