GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- Congressional candidate Sal Pace stopped by the Grand Junction Business Incubator Thursday morning as a part of his 23-stop, weeklong tour across the Western Slope.

Pace says that 20 percent of all small businesses succeed, but if they go through the Incubator Center, they have an 86 percent success rate.

Pace says 95 percent of Colorado businesses employ less than 50 people, making small businesses a huge economic engine and driver. "I'm meeting with business owners and businesses to hear what's working and what isn't working. Unfortunately, Congress appears to be broken and isn't doing a whole lot to help businesses grow. That's why I'm running. I think we are going to need folks who are going to work together," said Pace.

Pace will travel the Western Slope for seven days and says he hopes to learn more about small businesses so he can help them prosper.

All democrats know how to do is destroy business, nothing else. This past 3 years has proved that they are unfit for any leadership position.
