Endorsement from Local Business Group Underscores Hahn’s Close Ties to Local Small Businesses in the 44th Congressional District

COMPTON, CA- Broadening her support beyond elected leaders, grassroots activists, labor groups, Democratic Clubs, and Party loyalists, today Congresswoman Janice Hahn scored an endorsement from the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce, an organization dedicated to helping small Latino owned businesses in Compton, CA.

“Congresswoman Janice Hahn truly understands that small businesses make up the bulk of jobs in our country, and she recognizes that the way to rebuild our fallen economy is to help small businesses flourish and expand, so they can hire more workers,” said Frank Acevedo, newly elected President of Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce. “As a member of the Small Business Committee, she’s been a passionate advocate for increased assistance and investments that will help promote growth for small businesses, which as a result, will allow them to be successful and create more jobs. We are confident that she’ll continue to be a strong voice for the small business community in Congress, and that’s why the members of the executive committee and I are pleased to join her re-election campaign.”

“Today’s endorsement from the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce helps to illustrate the growing and wide-ranging support behind my re-election campaign,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “Job creation and economic development are at the forefront of the issues I’m fighting for everyday in Congress, and I look forward to joining forces with the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce to help provide the necessary aid to small businesses, so they can grow and generate much needed jobs.”
