Issue Position: Business and Industry

Issue Position

# I will work to reduce the constraints placed on employers regarding who they can hire. Indiana has a strong pro-union heritage. However, that heritage is not working as we just saw 1100 union jobs leave SW Indiana with Whirlpool. I will work to make employment easier, not harder for the employer and ensure potential employees have access to as many available jobs as they can.
# I will work to ensure the enforcement of existing state and federal laws before creating new hurdles for businesses; immigration and environmental being two key areas. Every new regulation increases the cost for an employer to do business in Indiana. This is good, not only for existing Hoosier businesses, but it can be a successful tool for attracting new industries to our state.
