Issue Position: Growing Our Economy

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

There is no greater priority than growing our South Georgia economy and creating jobs here. Too many kids coming up today are moving away for better opportunities. In the Senate, I will work to grow opportunity here at home. I want kids in Adel, Homerville, Valdosta, Quitman, and all across South Georgia to have the same opportunities as those in other parts of our state. I want them to be able to stay, build a career, and raise their families.

I will champion policies to grow opportunity here -- whether it's promoting the family farmer, promoting small business growth, recruiting new business, building new industry by linking technology to the field, and protecting existing drivers of our economy like our schools, Moody AFB and VSU.

We should incentivize relocation of industry and business here. Let's start with attracting businesses from states that remain shut down and recruiting medical supply manufacturing back from China. We have the resources, people, and talent that is second to none.

And as a small businessowner, I know the struggles of small business. I will work to promote small business growth by continuing to get government -- and senseless government regulation and taxes -- out of our way.

Together, I know we can secure a prosperous future.
