I am working to make changes to the law for the benefit of both our state and the nation.

Thanedar maintains a dedicated small-business resource page that links Detroit, Michigan, and SBA resources and states he is working on legislative changes for small businesses. This shows ongoing effort, but not a completed policy result.

taking a significant step to promote access to capital for the small business community in Michigan and across the country

A quarter of the city of Detroit’s residents are either unbanked or underbanked.

Thanedar voted for pro-innovation financial legislation and tied it to Detroit's high unbanked/underbanked rate, indicating action aimed at broad economic inclusion. This supports partial progress on improving Detroit's business environment, not full delivery of the promise.
