Jobs and Economy

The economy and jobs remain the top concern of most constituents, regardless of political ideology. Washington must end its spending addiction and focus its efforts on creating opportunities for job growth. Small business owners throughout the 3rd District are staring down increasing taxes and burdensome government regulations, hindering their ability to create jobs and grow the economy.

Congress needs to keep prioritizing efforts to make the tax code fairer and simpler, in the hopes of creating quality, family-sustaining jobs and bigger paychecks for every American.
We must continue to reform job training programs and expand education opportunities to give Americans the tools they need to find work. I’ll advocate for efforts to reform and modernize the maze of federal workforce training programs and help unemployed Americans get back to work.

Government regulations cost the average American family more than $15,000 each year. I’ve aggressively sought to confront excessive government regulations that act as barriers to stronger private sector growth and job creation.

We can't keep spending money we don't have, and we must reduce barriers for real private sector job growth. I’ll remain focused on what we can do right now, and in the long-term, to make a difference in people’s lives.
