Small-business owners in Arizona recently showed their support of Sen. Jon Kyl for his championing of tax cuts and many other small-business issues. Kyl, with his seat on the key Senate Finance Committee, has been a strong ally for small-business owners on a variety of issues, including his long-standing effort to permanently repeal the death tax. Kyl also took decisive stands for small business by supporting the creation of Small-Business Health Plans and working to reduce frivolous lawsuits. He also recently voted for a line-item veto that would eliminate wasteful spending.

Kyl's leading challenger, shopping-center developer Jim Pederson, is proposing to push for tax increases.
