Vin Kruttiventi Pledges to Champion for Small Businesses in California’s 14th District
California, September 5th, 2024 – Vin Kruttiventi, Candidate for Congress in California’s 14th District, has unveiled his plan to address the ongoing challenges facing small businesses. A business owner himself, Kruttiventi emphasized the urgent need to protect small businesses to maintain economic stability both locally and nationally.
“I am a business owner and understand the problems small businesses face. We must care for our small businesses for economic prosperity for the country and our communities," said Kruttiventi. "Small businesses make up 45.3% of the workforce here in California’s 14th District and generate a payroll of $12.4 billion, yet they are being overlooked."
Kruttiventi's Plan for Small Businesses includes:
Increasing access to capital with lower interest rates.
Reducing unnecessary regulation and red tape by enabling single-day approvals and assigning case workers to guide business owners through the process.
Negotiating group and special health plans to reduce premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
Reducing energy costs to ease economic strain on small business owners.
Creating Special Economic Zones and incentives to promote local production and consumption.
Providing top-tier training in marketing, customer retention, and cash flow management to help businesses thrive.
Kruttiventi has positioned himself as the champion for small businesses, with an emphasis on supporting women-, minority-, and veteran-owned enterprises. He sharply criticized his opponent’s voting record, highlighting a pattern of opposition to key legislation that could have directly benefited small businesses.
"My opponent Eric Swalwell has repeatedly voted NO on bills that would have immensely helped small businesses," Kruttiventi said, calling attention to the following key votes in the 118th Congress.
The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act (H.R. 23): Aimed at easing tax burdens for small business owners, but Swalwell voted NO.
The Congressional Review Act (H.J.Res. 27) on the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Final Rule: Could have protected small businesses from excessive regulations, but Swalwell voted NO.
The Lower Energy Costs Act (H.R. 1): Sought to reduce energy costs, enabling small businesses to reinvest savings, but Swalwell voted NO.
The CHOICE Arrangement Act (H.R. 3799): Would have made health insurance more affordable and flexible for small businesses, but Swalwell voted NO.
Kruttiventi concluded, "Supporting small businesses means supporting our communities, especially women, minorities, and veterans. I will be the champion they deserve."
