Issue Position: Economic Development

Issue Position

Small business owners are the backbone of our community. They represent 99 percent of all employers, generate nearly three-quarters of all net new jobs, and employ more than 50 percent of the private-sector workforce.

As State Representative, I fight to ensure funding for entrepreneurs and small business owners within Fort Bend County. This effort includes improving access to low-interest loans and start-up grants. As a fellow entrepreneur, I furthermore understand the needs of minority, woman and small business owners, and will advocate for equal opportunities to acquire contracts with state governmental entities.
