California Democratic Party: Business and Economy - California Democrats are dedicated to a robust economy and business climate that creates jobs and economic opportunity, grows small and large businesses, promotes innovation and entrepreneurship and encourages productivity. We want to ensure that California's economy continues to lead the nation and the world in agriculture, information technology, biotechnology, entertainment and aerospace.
