Issue Position

Upstate New York used to be the envy of the world -- with a thriving manufacturing and agriculture base supporting hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs. We can build that economy again. Unfortunately, high unemployment and job losses continue with a stubbornly high 8% unemployment rate and many more underemployed. As a small business owner in the district, I know what the tax and regulatory burdens from Washington mean for our small businesses including our family farms. We must roll back the regulatory state, and end the tax and spend mentality that has burdened our job creators. That starts with Obamacare and stretches throughout agencies like EPA which saddled our farmers and manufacturers with unreasonable expenses and rules that drive jobs out of our state. I will work side-by-side with small business owners and farmers, the dual backbone of our economy, to relieve those burdens and bring well-paying jobs to our community.
