Issue Position: Economy and Job Creation

Issue Position

The current recession has touched nearly all of us in some way, Democrats all over the country including right here in Mississippi are committed to helping all Americans confront these challenges by spurring job creation, rebuilding our infrastructure, investing in clean-energy technologies, and restoring fairness and opportunity to our economy.

Democrats cut taxes for 95 percent of working families, provided help for small businesses and homeowners, and strengthened consumer protections for anyone who has a credit card or a bank loan.

Democrats have provided relief for hardworking Americans who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

My party is moving forward with the "Made in America" economic plan that strengthens American Industries and creates jobs for American workers by:

*Investing those dollars in small businesses that create jobs in America.​
*Providing tax cuts to small businesses and expanding lending so that businesses can create new jobs;
*Putting Americans to work rebuilding roads, bridges, rails, and ports, strengthening our economy and our infrastructure across all 50 states.
*Investing in our middle-class families and small business owners

As State Representative, I will do everything possible to foster a business environment that promotes job creation, including the following:

*Work with local governments to make District 110 a winning choice in attracting, maintaining and growing businesses

*I know that small businesses are a major job creator, especially when recovering from a recession. As State Representative, I will support the start up and growth of small businesses in our district by encouraging the local governments to allow small businesses access to capital, and credit.

*Provide smart incentives that makes our district competitive for both large and small business projects incentives offered by our district are competitive on small and midsize projects, but not as competitive as other cities. We know from recent experience that the smart use of investment funds yields an excellent return on the taxpayers' investment.
