Supporting Small Business is a huge issue for me. As the owner of 2 small businesses in Lacey in the past 10 years I’ve created over 200 jobs and driven over $3 Million is tax revenue. As a small business owner we were the ones who were supposed to fail during covid but the community rallied around us and support all the amazing small businesses we have in Lacey. We need to return the favor and drive more people in our community with great ideas and work ethic to start their own. Every dollar spent in our city gets recycled over 4 times. I fully believe that if we invest in these projects in our community it will be the platform for everything else we want to do in Lacey.
