Issue Position

One of government's most important responsibilities is to set the table for private sector growth. That requires innovative use of tax revenue, strategic investment in infrastructure (such as the Port of Savannah), and prudent support for people who are hurting due to the slowdown.

Investing is key to our competitiveness now and in the future. Georgia has fantastic colleges and research universities, is a major logistics hub for people and trade, is an agricultural powerhouse and is home to Atlanta--an international business center. These are strengths we can use to carry us forward if we think long-term and strategically, and if we invest in educating our people to compete--and win--in the global economy.
