CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION ENDORSES
ANDREW LACHMAN FOR STATE ASSEMBLY
San Fernando Valley, CA – The California Small Business Association today endorsed lawyer, educator, and long-time Democratic Party activist Andrew Lachman and his bid for the California State Assembly’s new 46th District.
The California Small Business Association represents over 203,000 California small business owners. CSBA is a grass-roots, non-partisan, small business advocacy organization founded by the 1980 California small business delegates to the White House Conference on Small Business. Their mission is to provide a voice for California small businesses and stimulate the creation of jobs and the economy of California.
“We believe your commitment to the future of small business is deserving of the support from our organization, and you will do a great job representing us effectively in the State Assembly. Your commitment to interacting and partnering with us in small business meetings & councils will prove to be a valuable resource and enable us both to be better informed on issues important to your small business constituency,” said Betty Jo Toccoli, President of CSBA, in a written statement.
“Over three million small businesses in California have been hit hard by the recession and reduction of business support services and opportunities at the state level. I’m honored to have the support of the strongest advocate for small business in our state and am committed to use my own private and public sector experience to work with these small businesses and other working people to get California government on the side of creating jobs and fostering opportunity in California,” said Andrew Lachman. “I look forward to working with CSBA to create a small business roundtable in the 46th Assembly District to create a direct line of communication with the tens of thousands of small businesses in the San Fernando Valley.”
The California State Assembly’s new 46th District is located in the San Fernando Valley and includes all or part of the communities of Lake Balboa, North Hills, Panorama City, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Valley Village, Valley Glen, and Van Nuys.
Andrew Lachman served as the Consultant to the Joint Committee on the Arts for the California Legislature and is currently an Adjunct Professor in Business Law and Policy at Woodbury University in Burbank. He is a member of the Democratic National Committee and served as President o the San Fernando Valley Young Democrats and Democrats for Israel.
