SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) joined committee members for a hearing of the Jobs and Economic Development & the Economy (JEDE) Committee on Tuesday, February 5. JEDE is the policy committee in the State Assembly responsible for reviewing policies and legislation related to small business development, international trade and other economic development related issues.

 

The JEDE Committee includes Assemblymember Jose Medina, chair, Assemblymember Travis Allen, vice-chair, and Assemblymembers Tom Daly, Paul Fong, Steve Fox, Ben Hueso, Eric Linder, Melissa A. Melendrez, and V. Manuel Pérez. Assemblymember Ken Cooley also joined the members of the JEDE Committee for the hearing.

 

JEDE is currently tackling the state’s economy and unemployment figures by seeking job creation opportunities. During the hearing, Assemblymember Brown spoke about the importance of supporting small businesses and jobs in the Inland Empire and she indicated there are impediments to businesses.

 

“I’m glad I had the opportunity to voice concerns on behalf of the small business community in the 47th District during the hearing. Supporting small business is so important to me because small businesses provide a majority of jobs in our district. Small businesses are hurting right now and many of them are closing their doors. We need to help our small businesses by updating and streamlining some of the state’s regulatory processes,” said Assemblymember Brown.

 

Assemblymember Brown said she plans to support the JEDE Committee as they look for ways to improve our state’s economy.

Statement from Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown on President Obama’s Immigration Reform Speech

 

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) issued the following statement today after President Barack Obama’s speech in Las Vegas, Nevada on immigration reform:

 

“I commend President Obama on his decision to move forward with a comprehensive immigration reform plan. This is the most critical step toward de-criminalizing undocumented workers. I know I am not alone in having a family member who has personally experienced the struggles of undocumented workers as they navigate the complicated path to citizenship. It’s exciting to see the United States take a major step toward an immigration policy that unifies our nation. During this legislative session, I urge Congress to move the President’s plan forward and establish a system that promotes fair and equitable immigration reform policies.”
