Small Business
On the Issues
Why small business is District 20's backbone
The corner store. The family restaurant. The two-truck landscaping outfit. The immigrant-owned bakery that anchors the neighborhood. Small businesses are how District 20 builds — how families move from working for someone else to owning their own future. But too many entrepreneurs are drowning in paperwork, shut out of capital, and losing ground to national chains that get every break in the book.
Solutions
​What Dr. Maxime will do in Congress
Dr. Maxime spent 30 years as an accountant sitting across the table from small-business owners — helping them make sense of taxes, permits, payroll, and cash flow. He knows exactly what breaks a small business and what saves one. In Congress, he'll fight to:
01
Cut federal red tape and simplify small-business tax filing so owners can spend time serving customers, not fighting paperwork.
02
Expand SBA lending and micro-lending so capital reaches the entrepreneurs who need it most.
04
Support minority- and immigrant-owned businesses that anchor District 20 neighborhoods.
05
Protect small businesses from predatory fees, hidden bank charges, and payment-processor gouging.
03
Level the playing field so small businesses aren't crushed by unfair competition from national players.
