Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

Creating jobs in Pennsylvania will be my number one priority as State Senator. Dramatically increasing the rate of job growth is vital to fixing the issues facing our home state. Budget shortfalls, aging population demographics, school closings and consolidations, and the steep per capita tax burden need to be directly addressed.

As an entrepreneur, I have created over 100 high-quality jobs right here in Western Pennsylvania. Because of this experience, I have a strong understanding of the steps necessary to making our state an engine of job growth.

Pennsylvania's anti-business policies have erected a fence around our state and kept out business while having discouraged existing Pennsylvania businesses from expanding.

By systematically dismantling these policies reflecting such an excess in spending, high corporate taxes, and burdensome and unnecessary regulation, we can restart our economic engine and get Pennsylvania moving again.
