The
U.S. Black Chambers will endorse presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton. Ron Busby, president of the U.S. Black Chambers, will formally
announce the endorsement at a rally in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. on Monday, BE Politics has learned.
In comments obtained exclusively by BE Politics, Busby and Clinton explain why HRC is the best choice for black business.
Busby
asserted that “in order for there to be a strong black America, there
must be strong black businesses.” Citing the need for a candidate who
would “expand access to capital, provide tax relief, and expand access
to new markets for black business owners,” the U.S. Black Chambers
president affirmed that Clinton was the best person for the job.
“We
unequivocally believe Hillary Clinton is the candidate that has the
best understanding of the economic challenges facing black business
owners, and has forward thinking priorities to alleviate the economic
conditions facing black Americans and black businesses.”

Statements
Hillary Clinton released the following statement after earning the endorsement of the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc.
The USBC is an association of more than 100 self-sustaining Black
Chambers and small business associations nationwide and serves close to
250,000 small businesses.
“I am honored to have the support of the
U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. which does important work supporting
African-American entrepreneurs nationwide. They serve close to 250,000
small businesses, helping them with issues relating to professional
development resources, business development, capital formation,
government contracting and much more. That’s important, because
black-owned businesses are a vital source of jobs and prosperity for
Americans of all races and backgrounds.
“As President, I’ll make
sure America’s small businesses – including black-owned small businesses
– get more support. I’ll fight to cut red tape, improve access to
capital, provide tax relief and increase access to new markets around
the world. America works best when all its citizens get the chance to
develop their talents and chase their dreams. That’s what the U.S.
Black Chambers strives every day to achieve. I’m thrilled to join them
in their fight for fairness and opportunity for African-American
entrepreneurs and families.”
