Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

Unfortunately, the federal government's irresponsible spending and gridlock is causing America's economy to stall when it could be charging forward. Idaho must be ready for the future shocks when the federal government finally tightens its belt. The best thing we can do is continue to expand our economy.

I am proud to serve as Governor Otter's Chair for Project 60. Project 60 is Idaho's plan to grow the state's gross domestic product to $60 billion, and create thousands of new, good-paying jobs by helping existing businesses grow and by attracting new businesses to Idaho.
