Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

While New Hampshire currently enjoys an unemployment rate slightly below the national average, nearly every citizen realizes that jobs and the economy are the prevailing issues. As your representative, I will advance and support legislation to reduce job killing regulations and taxes, while improving our small business climate. I will not support the creation of new taxes or increase existing taxes as our current legislators did by raising taxes on gasoline. Just a few years ago, New Hampshire ranked dead last of the 50 States in being "business friendly". Thanks to the past Republican legislature's actions we are no longer at the bottom of the list, but we must aim to bring our state to the top of that list. A robust business community benefits everyone by lowering the unemployment rate and reducing individual taxes. Our New Hampshire small business' achievements should be rewarded and encouraged.
