Issue Position

Governmental interference in a free market economy is one that hinders business and costs jobs. A loss of jobs means a loss of revenue for the state and a reduced quality of life for citizens. High health insurance premiums, unjust unemployment claims, and the failure to "fix" the second injury fund are just a few issues that stifle business in our state. Small business drives our national economy and is negatively impacted by state government practices that create an unfriendly business environment.

Our state should take pride in the "American Dream," entrepreneurs starting their own businesses, and value business as the state's partner in improving the quality of life for all, not just as a revenue-generator for the state budget.

We have the right to a state government that promotes investment, business and jobs for now and the future.
