Chris Carlozzi on Agenda for Leadership
“Agenda for Leadership 2026 recognizes that small businesses are the backbone of Massachusetts’ economy — and right now, they’re struggling under the weight of high costs, outdated regulations, and a shrinking workforce. By advancing practical reforms like eliminating punitive taxes, modernizing business regulations, and streamlining licensing and permitting, the plan lays out a roadmap to restore competitiveness, stem the outmigration of talent, and empower local employers to grow and hire. For small business owners, this agenda represents a long-overdue commitment to opportunity, economic freedom, and a stronger future for the Commonwealth.”
