Issue Position: Bringing New Businesses and Jobs to the District

Issue Position

Here in North Jersey, we have some of the best schools and brightest minds who call our communities home. Many of the top life science companies are based in our state and we have some of the fastest broadband in the country -- which is why the whole back-end of the New York Stock Exchange sits in Bergen County. The question is: How can we maximize these assets to create good-paying job and strengthen our economy?

That's why, as part of my Five-Point Economic Growth Plan, I'm working across the aisle to help create jobs, draw, keep and expand businesses in northern New Jersey, lower taxes, cut red tape, and eliminate outdated, burdensome regulations. I've also fought to secure bipartisan funding for the Gateway Program and other essential investments to fix our transit, roads, bridges, and infrastructure to boost economic growth. Ultimately, harnessing our potential is about creating the conditions where innovative businesses can thrive and stay here to create good-paying jobs for our residents.

For my pro-business work across the aisle to help New Jersey, I was honored to receive the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's "Spirit of Enterprise" Award. I have partnered with chapters across our District and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce President Tom Bracken noted that I am, "fighting for us every day." I will continue to work to lower taxes and help businesses of all sizes stay and grow in New Jersey by making the state we love more affordable.
