On Oct. 8, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar visited Phoenix and hosted a networking event with small business owners to discuss the Harris-Walz policies in the newly-launched “Small Business for Harris-Walz.”“We are focused on the vision that Vice President Harris has for our small businesses which will transform Arizona and the United States,” said Gabe Hagen, owner of Brick Road Coffee in Phoenix. “Trump’s record speaks for itself.
Harris-Walz’s plan for the future is to set a goal of 25 million new business applications, expand the startup expense deduction to $50,000, make it easier for small businesses to file taxes and remove excessive occupational licensing requirements. “Historically high inflation remains the top issue for owners as sales expectations plummet and cost pressures increase,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “Uncertainty among small business owners continues to rise as expectations for future business conditions worsen.”
However, Jenny Poon, co-chair of “Arizona Small Business for Harris-Walz,” said that the policies proposed by Harris would better benefit Arizona’s small businesses.
