The issues of Economy and Jobs are important to our district and to my work in Congress.
Our country is facing one of the greatest economic challenges of a generation. The way back to prosperity lies in the private sector and with America’s greatest asset: the American worker. American workers can compete with any in the world as long as they are competing on a level playing field. The government does not create jobs, it creates an environment for small businesses and private industry to invest and grow. By keeping taxes low and government interference at a minimum our economy will recover and Americans will get back to work.
