Welcome to Small Business Votes
As business owners you might think your destiny is in your own hands. And while that is mostly true—you are responsible for your own success—what happens in Washington (and on a state and local level) can certainly impact you and your business.
In this presidential election year, we're kicking off our coverage highlighting the records of the three major candidates for president. In the coming months, we'll be bringing you more interviews, opinions and information, not only about the presidential contenders, but about all the issues that affect your business, in the long and short terms.
Please contact us and let us know what you think and what you'd like us to cover here, click here. |
