Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

As a family business owner I know first-hand that less government, lower taxes and a well-trained workforce are just some of the tools necessary to help our state remain competitive.

We need a relentless commitment to making sure we improve our State's economy, which will help both attract and grow small and medium businesses. This means fighting to reduce the tax burden for all businesses and reducing the burdensome regulations that these businesses face. Job creation will only be meaningful if new and existing businesses are free to grow with less constraint and retain more of their hard earned money. We also need to create a skilled workforce that meets the demands of local businesses. To accomplish this we need to establish programs that train our children in high school and two-year colleges for our State's many trades and teach them new technology to become more productive than competitive states.
