Nominations Open for Small Business of the Year

2026 Small Business of the Year Graphic

Dear Friend,

Our office is now accepting nominations for Senate District 29’s Small Business of the Year, and we invite you to help us recognize a business that makes a meaningful impact in our community.

Each year, we honor a small business that demonstrates excellence, resilience, and a strong commitment to serving the Inland Empire. This is an opportunity to uplift a local business that goes above and beyond—whether through innovation, community engagement, or dedication to its customers and employees.

Important Deadline: 
Due to a quick turnaround this year, nominations must be submitted by May 1.

The selected Small Business of the Year will be recognized at a special event in Sacramento on May 16, alongside honorees from across California.

In addition, several nominated businesses will be recognized as Small Businesses of Distinction and celebrated at a district event later this summer—allowing us to highlight even more of the outstanding businesses that make our region strong.

If you know a small business that deserves this recognition, we encourage you to submit a nomination using the form on our website:

If you need help filling out the nomination form – or with any other legislative matter - please do not hesitate to reach out to our office at (909) 888-5360.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the hardworking small businesses that strengthen our communities every day.
