Joe Knows Jobs

Press Release

Monday, Dr. Joe Heck officially launched his "Joe Knows Jobs" educational tour of current and future businesses driving commerce in the Las Vegas valley. This will be an ongoing series of events including meeting with business owners, touring local businesses, and partaking in the day-to-day operations of their employees. Friday, Joe met with Eagle Quest of southern Nevada. Eagle Quest provides therapeutic foster home services to our most troubled youth; they were recently forced to cut 40 positions in the last 60 days. This was the beginning of the "Joe Knows Jobs" tour - an effort designed to put Joe Heck on the front line with local employers and employees. While many Members of Congress are hiding from their constituents, Joe Heck will be learning first-hand about the effects that government regulations and instability have on our local economy. Monday, Joe toured Las Vegas Biodiesel, a company with the capabilities to be a renewable energy leader in southern Nevada.
Stay tuned for more "Joe Knows Jobs" events as Joe jumps into the pit at a neighborhood Midas, meets with potential business owners who are trying to cut through government red tape in an effort to bring new jobs to southern Nevada, and tours local companies across southern Nevada.

"While Nevada carries the burden of the highest unemployment in the nation, I refuse to sit back and watch Dina Titus and Nancy Pelosi continue to throw money at our problems yielding no positive results. It's critically important to meet with our local business owners and employees as a means of learning what's really happening in the trenches of our economy. The Joe Knows Jobs tour is a district wide tour that enables me to listen, learn, and experience, on a ground floor level, what our businesses are going through in these tough times. "The return to prosperity can only truly begin with a rejuvenation of our private sector and small business community and I am excited to learn about their needs today in order to turn our economy around for tomorrow," said Dr. Joe Heck.
