The campaign to reelect Assemblymember Michael Allen announced Monday he has the endorsement of the California Small Business Association, which represents over 203,000 California small business owners.
“We believe your commitment to the future of small business is deserving of the support from our organization, and you will do a great job representing us effectively in the State Assembly,” wrote CSBA President Betty Jo Toccoli. “Your commitment to interacting and partnering with us in small business meetings/councils will prove to be a valuable resource and enable us both to be better informed on issues important to your small business constituency.”
The California Small Business Association is a grassroots, non-partisan, small business advocacy organization founded by the 1980 California small business delegates to the White House Conference on Small Businesses. Their stated mission is to provide a voice for California small businesses and stimulate the creation of jobs and the economy of California.
