Reduce all barriers to entry. Simply the onboarding of new businesses and provide a concierge model to facilitate the questions and issues for entrepreneurs. Self reliant, independent business people are a growth engine for the economy.

As a small business owner myself, I believe it is important to build a skilled workforce AND encourage entrepreneurship. As Secretary, I will work to ensure business owners have the tools and resources to thrive. There are many grants, programs, and training that are made available, but it can be difficult to find and access the information. I will also convene industry-related meetings to help build connections for the betterment of all.
