Theresa Raborn for Congress

We need to provide incentives to people who want to start a business and we need to provide guidance to our new entrepreneurs. Starting a business is very hard and it is made harder by the plethora of laws, ordinances, statutes, codes, tax forms, etc. Often that part gets so overwhelming that a person gives up chasing his or her dream of owning a business. We must bridge that gap between the dream and the reality. Matching mentors with new entrepreneurs to provide the guidance needed can help our innovative citizens realize their dreams. Small businesses are the engine that makes our nation run smoothly and we have an obligation to make small business ownership easier, not more difficult. This is even more important for minority-owned businesses, which often employ other minorities.
