- I want to create a minority task force to assist small businesses in receiving funding from the Small Business Administration Grants that are being provided by the federal government, as diversity and inclusion is paramount in building a better and brighter future for SC.
- It is imperative that recruit companies to SC that will pay higher wages to their employees as well as create incentives for small business that will enable them to pay their employees a decent salary
- SC can do much more to attract larger businesses businesses in order to keep our college graduates in the state to increase our workforce. Our young adults actually would love to live and work in their home state; however, they often go out of state in search of more lucrative opportunities
