Issue Position : Economy and Job Creation

Issue Position

Entrepreneurs and small businesses create jobs. State and local governments can either create an environment where these efforts can be successful, or they can become a hindrance to these efforts. Lisa supports small businesses and understands the challenges faced by small business owners. She pledges to improve the environment for growth and job creation in the Silver State. It is critical that Nevada's tax and regulatory environment become less hostile to small businesses if the state is to experience long-term recovery and economic diversification. Unnecessary licensing laws and other restrictions increase the barriers to entry for small businesses and limit the dynamism of Nevada's economy. Like nearly 80 percent of Nevada voters, Lisa opposed the Margin Tax (a gross receipts tax) during the 2014 election.
