“Unfortunately, as this government becomes bigger and bigger, more regulatory, it’s also choking our small businesses,” said Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) in a discussion on his assignment to the House Committee on Small Business with Jacob Hernandez of the White Mountain Independent.
Rep. Crane, who founded a small business alongside his wife Jen, sits on the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Regulations and the Subcommittee on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Workforce Development.
KEY EXCERPTS:
Red tape and regulatory obstacles are hurting the core of the American economy:
- “It’s very important to me. A lot of people understand that small businesses are the economic lifeblood of this country. Unfortunately, as this government becomes bigger and bigger, more regulatory, it’s also choking our small businesses.
- “I talk to small business owners every single day that have a tough time even finding good employees because of all the handouts coming from this government. Folks can just sit at home and make more money than they could actually working, and that’s very problematic.”
The Biden Administration is intent on pushing crippling regulations, making it harder for Americans to open a small business.
- “Crane often spoke about his business experience during his campaign in 2022. He and fellow Republican Rep. Mike Collins, of Georgia, spoke with the Independent at Show Low Café in November, saying he felt it was easier to open his business when he did (in 2013) than it would be to open one under the Biden administration.”
- “I look forward to taking (that) on and pushing back against it. I know many of my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle agree with me.”
