We believe Representative Chu is an instrumental advocate for the woman entrepreneur, and we are proud to stand behind her in her bid for re-election.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of NAWBO National,” said Congresswoman Judy Chu. “Women business owners are an important segment of our community and contribute greatly to our nation’s economy.
