Andrei Cherny: Business Group Focuses on Ariz.’s future, not Politics

Our very own contributing RP, Andrei Cherny, recent launched an initiative to focus attention on small business development in Arizona. He wrote about it in an op-ed in the Arizona Republic:

As a businessperson, I’ve seen Arizona fall behind our economic competitors – around America and around the world. As chair of the Arizona Democrats, I’ve made it a priority for us to offer leadership that will help turn our economy around.

That’s why we recently held the first meeting of our new Business and Entrepreneurship Council, a group of Arizona business leaders committed to pushing new ideas that will bring back jobs and spur economic growth.

As I looked around the room at the start of our meeting, I saw businesspeople ranging from leaders of Arizona’s largest businesses to entrepreneurs of high-tech startups to owners of “mom and pop” small businesses. The people there were Democrats, Republicans and independents alike.
