Small Business

Since Paul Revere small businesses have been the backbone of American life. Today nearly 70% of the new jobs being generated come from businesses with less than 10 employees.

Judy believes this is the future of the American way – that like government, small groups working together are able to solve problems more effectively. Our district is a hotbed for small entrepreneurial companies that are developing new technologies in science, health care, tourism, food and sports products that will build a stronger, cleaner, more resilient economy for our community.

Judy's support of small businesses includes the following:

• Create an atmosphere of free enterprise, creative innovation, prosperity and secure jobs.
• Reduce worker compensation rates and increase incentives for businesses to incorporate and invest in the State of California.
• Create incentives for those innovators in the alternative fuel field with an emphasis on creating environmentally sound jobs.
• Implement a health care tax credit for small businesses.
• Ensure that all government projects be contracted with businesses operating in the immediate area of the project to better support the local job market and economy.
• Streamline the paperwork and regulations that are disproportionately large for small businesses
• Promote low interest rate loans to small businesses for the purpose of launching a new business or expanding an existing one.
