Jobs & Economy
As a former small business owner, I know how tough it can be to ride the waves the economy sends our way. The pandemic sent a tide that reverberated throughout the entire country, and Washington policies have made life harder, not better, for American businesses and workers.
My priority as your Representative is to identify solutions that will get Americans back to work and create lasting benefits to U.S. economic competitiveness. This includes cutting down regulatory red tape that burdens businesses and pushing back against mandates and policies that would eliminate worker freedom and impose a federal minimum wage on small businesses.
