[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

The business owner trying to stay afloat
The entrepreneur chasing an opportunity
The families depending on those businesses to survive
The responsibility of carrying their voices is never lost on me
It shapes how I lead, how I advocate, and why I continue to show up every day

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

Recognition matters.
What matters more is what you do with it.
Focused on making sure small business voices don’t get left out of the decisions that matter.

Small business owners generate nearly half of U.S. GDP.
If their access to capital weakens, economic resilience weakens.
Smart policy protects opportunity.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

Myth: Credit cards are optional for small business.
Reality: 82.7% rely on them as part of daily operations.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

Small businesses create over two thirds of new jobs.
If nearly 79% say reduced credit would harm operations, that directly affects hiring confidence.
Access drives growth.
Growth drives jobs.

[U.S. Hispanic Business Council @myushbc]

Texas has 3.5M small businesses employing 5M workers. Hispanic entrepreneurs own 1/3 of them.
As the Senate race unfolds, their influence will be decisive.

Agriculture supports millions of American jobs and remains a cornerstone of our national economy.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to join this important conversation and engage with leaders focused on the future of American agriculture.

The Texas primary proved something both parties need to remember: Hispanic voters are a decisive force in American politics.

Campaigns that engage our communities and speak to our priorities will see the results.

Small business owners understand downstream effects.
More than 60% oppose policies that reduce available credit.

Access drives growth.
Growth drives hiring.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

82.7% of business owners use a business credit card.
This isn’t optional financing.
It’s working capital.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

Economic strength doesn’t start in boardrooms.
It starts with a job offer.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

We don’t need more noise.
We need policy built on what business owners are actually telling us.

We ask.
USHBC members answer.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

The most stabilizing economic force in America doesn’t trade on Wall Street.
It opens every morning on Main Street.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

When discussing credit policy, we should listen to business owners.
65% oppose rate caps that would restrict access to credit.
They’re not defending high rates.
They’re protecting access to capital.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

USHBC surveyed 1,214 small business owners nationwide.
77.2% say business credit cards are important to daily operations.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

If you run a business that keeps your community working, you’re not small.
You’re foundational.

[Javier Palomarez @JPalomarez]

Small businesses don’t need more barriers, they need more pathways to opportunity. Smart policy should expand access to responsible capital, not restrict it
