Kerry Praises Contributions of Hispanic Entrepreneurs, Promises Action to Aid Small Businesses

“Senator John Kerry D-Mass. praised the energy and entrepreneurship of Hispanic business owners around the country today as he addressed the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerces 17th Annual Legislative Conference. Kerry, the chairman of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, also outlined his priorities for advancing small business interests and Latino entrepreneurship.

“Hispanic businesses play a vital role in fueling our economy. With Hispanic firms growing three times faster than other businesses, advancing Latino entrepreneurship isnt a Latino issue, its an American issue,” said Kerry. “Average income for Latinos in Massachusetts is half of the average income for the entire state. The key to bridging this wealth gap is investing in entrepreneurial development and small business programs targeted to the Hispanic community. I am committed to pursuing an aggressive agenda to make sure these entrepreneurs have the tools and opportunities necessary to start, maintain, and grow their business and I thank the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for their leadership in this effort.”"
