In Colorado, Kaine Holds Small Business Leaders Roundtable

On Tuesday, vice presidential nominee Senator Tim Kaine held a roundtable with local small business leaders in Lakewood, CO after touring the Primus Aerospace manufacturing company.
Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-CO 7) and Senator Michael Bennett (D-CO) also participated in the roundtable. In his remarks, Kaine laid out his and Hillary Clinton’s plan to strengthen small businesses. Their plan seeks to streamline the start-up process, expand access to capital, and simplify tax filing practices so that it’s easier for entrepreneurs to make their dreams a reality and become economic engines for their local communities.

After discussing how he and Secretary Clinton grew up helping out with their own family’s small businesses, Kaine criticized Donald Trump for his questionable business practices, saying that Trump has a “track record of stiffing small businesses, like my dad’s, or like Hillary’s dad’s”
Kaine also pointed to reports that Trump has nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays at Trump Tower since he has begun actively fundraising as further evidence that Trump looks out for himself and his own business first and foremost.
As Kaine said, Trump doesn’t ask “what can you do for your country, but hey, what can this campaign do for me?”
