As a small businessman, I understand the importance of having an environment that allows job creators to create and grow businesses. In December, with President Trump's leadership, we passed historic tax cuts and put money back in the pockets of West Tennesseans, instead of Washington bureaucrats.

After tax reform, unemployment is down to 4.1%, which is a 17-year low. Small business optimism is at an all-time high. More than 4 million Americans have received a bonus or a pay raise from their employer after tax reform.

Last year, we eliminated more than 1,500 unnecessary regulations, because it was long past time to get government off your backs.

Our economy is rolling again, and West Tennessee is beginning to see the benefits.
