/ POLICIES OVERVIEW /
Entrepreneurial opportunity is an urgent policy need.
By unleashing entrepreneurial opportunity for everyone, we all benefit from more homegrown jobs, higher incomes, greater productivity, lower inequality, stronger communities, and less poverty.
We can shape policies — local, state, and federal — that make it easier for all to start and pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
Voters prefer candidates who support their entrepreneurial dreams.

“The Right to Start is a simple idea, but with profound connotations.
It means we all possess the spark to change things. It means our communities have tinder to ignite. It means America retains DNA from our past that is key to our future.”
— Victor W. Hwang in We Are All Starters
