Business and Economic Development PDF Print
As a representative of one of the most vibrant small business districts in the United States, Congresswoman Sanchez knows how important it is to help Americans start, build, and grow businesses that will strengthen our economy and increase global competitiveness. Small businesses employ 53 percent of our private work force and contribute to 47 percent of American sales. They are also responsible for 50 percent of our country's private gross domestic product.

Congresswoman Sanchez has been a longtime advocate for small business interests, fighting for small business loans and against the tax increases that hamper economic growth. Representative Sanchez has been a strong supporter of an economic stimulus package that boosts consumer confidence, encourages investment, and maintains the fiscal discipline that will keep long-term interest rates in check. These provisions will play an important role in ensuring business entrepreneurs can acquire the venture capital needed to expand businesses and create new jobs. She will continue to fight for the prosperity of small businesses in her own district, throughout Orange County, and in the state of California.

Congresswoman Sanchez was appointed by Speaker Pelosi to serve on the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), a bicameral Congressional Committee composed of ten members from each the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Committee's main purpose is to continually monitor matters relating to the US economy, including unemployment, foreclosures, and interest rates.  The Committee holds hearings, performs research, and advises other Members of Congress.
