Issue Position: Economic Mission

Issue Position

The effects of the tax reform legislation have already taken place. Employees are taking more of their paycheck home, wages are growing, and unemployment is low. Businesses are now expanding and creating more jobs than before. However, small businesses are facing unique challenges that are restricting growth.

Regulatory compliance is often more expensive for small businesses, which increases the costs of hiring workers. At the same time, rising healthcare costs are leading to higher premiums and out of pocket costs for both employers and employees.

The mission is to unleash the full potential of small and medium-size businesses to grow and hire more workers. I will work to reduce the financial burden of excessive compliance and regulatory requirements that disproportionately stifle growth among small and medium-size businesses.
