Issue Position: Economy and Jobs

Issue Position

We must fight for working families by expanding opportunities and creating an economic environment that allows for job growth. The last seven years have been a disaster for the average American family.

The most important thing Washington can do to promote job and economic growth is remove barriers facing the private sector. Today, the tax code is anti-jobs, anti-growth, anti-small business, pro-special interest, pro-lobbyist. Congress should pass tax reform that lowers rates, inspires economic growth, and ends nearly all loopholes and deductions.

In addition, the explosive growth of government regulations is threatening economic growth and job creation as much, or more, than taxes are. Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, climate change, and labor market regulations all weigh down the economy. Rolling back excessive, job-killing regulations -- and preventing new ones -- will be one of my top priorities in Congress.
