Ed Royce endorses Hoagy Holguin for the Anaheim City Council

HOAGY ON SMALL BUSINESS AND ED ROYCE ENDORSEMENT

By “Hoagy” on August 10, 2010

Dear Anaheim Voter, With a little over 3 months away until election day on November 2nd, a team of dedicated volunteers and myself walked precincts last weekend to get face-to-face with Anaheim voters and business owners in order to hear what issues were most important to them and discuss some of there concerns. While most residents believed that the City of Anaheim is generally moving in the right direction, the greatest concern commonly voiced was in regards to job creation and aid to small businesses.

As a small business owner in Anaheim of over 25 years, I know how challenging it is to start a business, grow a business, and keep it flourishing even in a rough economy. As a general contractor, I am well aware of how hard local government and state agencies can make it for small businesses to operate and make a profit. In fact, because of strict regulations, many newly formed corporations in California are often forced out of business in the first few years while much of the manufacturing industry has left California and relocated overseas.

As your newly elected Anaheim City Council Member, I will work to bring manufacturing jobs back to Anaheim, seek aid for existing small businesses, and help create new jobs within the city. Many cities across the country are taking entrepreneurial approaches to government by using federal stimulus dollars to create new specialized jobs, while others are using matching grant programs to help manufacturers retool to be more competitive in growing sectors such as medical products and green technology. Most important, I will continue to listen to business owners and look at existing codes to make sure they are protective, but not restrictive.
