ASBL 63, Chris Bennett, House Candidate, CA District 3, April 20, 2026
The American Small Business League spoke with Chris Bennett, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in California’s District 3, which goes from Southeast Sacramento in Sacramento County, north through Placer County and includes all of Nevada County and much of El Dorado County east to Nevada's western border. His website is www.BennettForCA.com.
Chris is a disabled Army veteran whose top priorities include affordable housing and groceries, public homeowners’ insurance, healthcare & big pharma. He is a former tech worker and community activist who comes from “a working-class military background, so I understand the needs of everyday people and how poverty fuels our system.”
Chris said, near the end, “I want every single person to live in dignity and safety.”
The American Small Business League (www.asbl.com) wants Congress to stop big businesses from getting small business contracts (small businesses would create millions of jobs with those contracts and the economy would boom). Our www.DontCheatWomen.com project wants Congress to:
· Raise from 5% to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses. It’s not DEI or affirmative action. They own 40% of American businesses and they sell what the government buys – but companies owned by men get over 95% of federal contract dollars, and that must change.
· Define a small business as 100 or less employees.
· Make the Small Business Administration prove that small business contracts go to small businesses (and give the SBA a budget and staff as big as its mission, which is to help the 99.9% of all firms in America which are small businesses).
