We’ve all heard politicians talk about small businesses
being the “lifeblood” or “backbone” of our economy, but are they really aware of
the value these small businesses provide?
As a former small business owner, I know firsthand the
true value these businesses bring to our economy. Small businesses employee half
of our country’s workforce and are responsible for producing two out of every
three new jobs for the American people.
Throughout my entire time in public service I have
prioritized the needs of small business. I’ve worked relentlessly to keep
government involvement to a minimum and to provide a stage for these small
businesses to thrive. I have introduced and supported legislation that cut
bureaucratic red tape, eliminated burdensome regulations, streamlined government
operations and implemented free-market principles that strengthened our
economy.
My commitment to small business is unwavering. I’m
proud to have earned multiple awards and endorsements from the small business
community:
Award from the National Federation of Independent
Business
Award from the Arizona Small Business
Association
Award from the National Association of Women Business
Owners

As Secretary of State, I will continue to be an advocate
for small business. One important responsibility of the Secretary of State’s
Office is managing the lengthy business filing process. My office will ensure
small businesses get the same treatment as large corporations.
Sincerely,
Michele
