2021 VA Governor's race: on Corporations


Jennifer Carroll Foy: Require banks to direct more funds to small businesses

We must look at ways we can use the levers of state government to ensure the capital needs of small businesses are met. Banks and financial entities wanting to do business in Virginia should be required to devote a certain proportion of their resources to angel investments, increase the percentage of funds invested by state pension programs that are going to angel investments, and direct more of those funds to small businesses in Virginia.

[Definition of "angel investments" from Investopedia, downloaded Feb. 2021]: An angel investor (also known as a private investor, seed investor or angel funder) is a high-net-worth individual who provides financial backing for small startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange for ownership equity in the company.]

Pete Snyder: Wall Street, big government rig system to protect profits

Snyder released a statement slamming Wall Street and the popular investing app Robinhood for attempting to rig stock trading. Snyder said, "Ordinary Americans outsmarted the suits and now these Wall Street elites are trying to rig the system to protect their profits. They cannot be allowed to use big government regulations and cronyism to get an unfair advantage, or shutdown competition."
