Tara Lynn Gray Director CalOSBA
Tara Lynn Gray was sworn in on April 26, 2021, as the 5th Director of the California Office of the Small Business Advocate. She serves as the voice for California’s 4.2 million small businesses in the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development.
Under Director Gray’s leadership, the California Office of the Small Business Advocate focuses on helping to bring about Governor Newsom’s California for All vision through further development of the state’s small business ecosystem and by ensuring that questions about equity and inclusion are the starting point for all of the state’s small business programs.
Gray’s first model of economic development was learned in her grandmother’s beauty shop. Her grandmother instinctively understood that her patrons needed credit as well as beauty services and she let them pay after services were rendered. This way, she kept the money circulating in the Black community and built a community of trust. She also imbued her granddaughter with her sense of compassion and indelible determination.
Running her own business for two decades, working with two small business development centers, and running a business association and a foundation has given Director Gray the requisite experience and expertise to advocate for small businesses. Immediately prior to her appointment by Governor Newsom, Director Gray led the Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce (FMBCC) and Chamber Foundation (FMBCF) as CEO. In her adopted city of Fresno, Director Gray engaged, educated, and empowered small businesses across California’s Central Valley. At the same time, she became deeply engaged in community service, leading the initiative “Betting Big on Small Businesses Owned by Women and People of Color” on behalf of the DRIVE Investment Plan, with the goal of increasing economic mobility for entrepreneurs in disinvested neighborhoods.
Closing opportunity gaps, the role of women and BIPOC business leaders, and diversity in procurement opportunities are recurrent themes in her advocacy work. She has also led green economy initiatives, employment & training programs, and working to advance electric vehicle ownership.
2024 Policy Perspectives
California faces great challenges that we will meet only by working together. With each Administration and Legislative session come new opportunities for cooperation and progress. The California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce stands ready to work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle, and regulators on urgent and comprehensive action to ensure economic growth and a strong California economy.
Access to Capital
It is fundamental for business of all sizes to have access to capital when they need it. Hispanic businesses, especially small businesses, do not want to be reliant on government programs as the sole means of business and personal loans. It is important to have a healthy private sector loan market not only for those with good credit, but also for those with credit scores that are less than prime. We support legislation and regulation that expands credit opportunities so long as there is full disclosure to the borrower regarding terms, it is a regulated product, it provides the opportunity to build credit, and the interest rate and fees reflect the risks associated with the borrower. We oppose legislation that restricts private sector loan options.
Affordable Housing
The CHCC promotes policies that enhance the affordability and availability of housing. Ensures policies for land use are being implemented to ensure that California can achieve its Sustainable Communities Strategies' goals without impeding new commerce, industry, and housing opportunities.
Cannabis
The sale of cannabis for recreational purposes has been in effect since 2016. The law created a framework to regulate and tax cannabis products for sale to adult consumers. The law has created a complicated regulatory structure which has resulted in a vast majority of those in the industry to be issued temporary permits. In addition, the tax structure should be streamlined, and a tax reduction on the product needs to be reexamined. Given the significant regulatory burden and high taxes it has resulted in an illicit cannabis market to flourish. Social equity issues are of concern given this difficult market to enter. We support a broad approach to reforming the current regulatory and tax structure to remedy these problems.

Climate Change
Policies that mitigate climate change through state action for the betterment of our environment are goals we support to protect future generations. However, we support these goals with the caveat that Hispanic businesses and our community are not disproportionately and adversely impacted in economic terms. California policymakers have set lofty goals such as the prohibition of the sale of all new internal combustion passenger vehicles by 2035. To achieve these types of goals, it is important to determine what infrastructure is in place before imposing future mandates. In addition, the cost implications on communities of color and their ability to access such vehicles needs to be critical factors for policy makers.
Economic Development
The CHCC supports legislation that improves job creation, expansion, and retention through specific efforts in addressing issues of lending discrimination to minority businesses, marketing, neighborhood development, small business start-up development, technology transfer, real estate development, state procurement, economic development, and workforce investment.
Energy
Fuel, electricity, and natural gas rates in California are higher than the national averages and are continuing to rise. It is critical to ensure that we have the energy supply needed to keep our state running, and at the same time that we are keeping costs under control and our economy growing. Different state agencies are imposing many state energy mandates. These mandates promote renewable energy production, energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, retrofits to power plants, among many other ambitious goals. California needs a statewide energy plan that considers both costs and reliability. The CHCC advocates for legislation that ensures affordability, safety, and adequate energy supplies to maintain a competitive business climate.
HealthCare
The CHCC supports efforts to reduce the cost of health insurance and increase the number of workers who have health insurance. Health care reform must provide for adequate grants, tax benefits and other means to improve the affordability and access of health care for Hispanic business owners. Any reform must also address the disparities in coverage often seen in Hispanic communities.
Immigration
The CHCC supports efforts to enact comprehensive reform of immigration laws. CHCC recognizes that proposed reforms are the purview of the U.S. Congress and the Federal Executive Branch. The CHCC supports advocacy efforts at all levels of government that encourage immigration reforms that will help our diverse small business community and immigrant families that are trying to improve their quality of life in the pursuit of the American Dream.
1510 J Street, Suite 210 | Sacramento, CA 95814 | www cahcc com | (916) 444-2221
International Trade
The CHCC supports the expansion of international trade and investment, fair and equitable market access for California products, and elimination of disincentives that impede the global competitiveness of California business.
Procurement and Contracting
The CHCC supports policies that encourage small business participation and competition for government contracts. Doing business with the government can be a complex and daunting task. Government contracting provides opportunities for Hispanic businesses to expand into new markets.
The CHCC supports policies that encourage small business participation and competition for government contracts, and programs that provide technical assistance for small business to compete for state contracts and opportunities.
Regulations
The CHCC supports proposals and actions aimed at regulatory fairness, reform, and relief for all business. The CHCC supports policies that provide for opportunities for new technologies and innovation that help prepare our businesses for success in today’s economy. Regulations are necessary; however, they need to be fair, efficient, predictable and accountable, with common sense rules that are fairly applied.
Tobacco Products
The sale of tobacco has been part of our economy for countless years. Many small Hispanic businesses sell tobacco products as part of their total sales through convenience stores and small markets where a substantial amount of their revenue comes from tobacco products. We recognize that tobacco, like a lot of other products people consume, is not without detrimental health effects; however, that is the consumer’s choice. We support policies that encourage tobacco harm reduction products to ameliorate the harmful health effects of tobacco. We oppose unreasonable taxation on existing tobacco products that unfairly targets tobacco consumers, impacts the licensed retailers of tobacco products, and results in a “black market” underground economy that has proven difficult to enforce and increases youth access.
Taxes
California is an excessive cost of living state in part driven by our tax structure. We rely heavily on personal income tax which depending on our economy, creates significant highs and lows. The Hispanic businesses would be significantly affected if their property taxes were increased at a higher rate than other property. We oppose attempts to create a “Split Roll” property tax taxing business at a higher rate. Tax incentives for other types of taxation can prove effective when targeted to meet a particular objective. We, in general, support such policies.

Transportation
The CHCC recognizes the need for road repairs as commercial entities and the public more heavily use our roads. The CHCC supports the improvement of commuter and public transportation systems.
Water
Climate change is going to be with us for many years to come. This reality brings with it very dry conditions and years with higher-than-average rainfall. Water conservation, although important, is not a substitute for expanding upon our water infrastructure. If our economy is to thrive and flourish for future generations, we need additional water storage as a critical component to our water infrastructure.
Workforce Development
The CHCC supports legislative efforts in partnerships and programs that provide skill development training and business support. This includes career pathways programs and workforce development educational opportunities at community colleges, state universities, and local nonprofit job training providers throughout California.
The CHCC supports legislation that expands educational opportunities, work-based learning opportunities, urge financial aid tuition assistance to low- income high school students to make a successful transition to postsecondary education and encourage implementation of programs to assist English language learners.
