Kerry: ‘Administration Shortchanges Women in Business’
28 April 2005

Today, John F. Kerry, Ranking Member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, called on the Bush administration and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to do more for women-owned businesses.

“Women business owners continue to be short-changed by the administration,” Kerry said. “The number of women-owned businesses is growing at more than twice the rate of all firms, but women entrepreneurs aren’t getting their fair share of the capital, counseling or contracts. There's no place for the ol’ boys club in our government. We need to ensure that, with a smart business plan and a lot of hard work, every American entrepreneur can achieve success.”
