Tim puts his trust in the American people, not Washington DC bureaucrats. He understands that money spent in Washington DC comes out of the pockets of hardworking taxpayers, so Tim fights to require the federal government to live within its means and leave more resources with families, small businesses, job providers, and in our local communities. Tim voted for fiscally responsible budgets that dramatically reduce the deficit, spending cuts, a line item veto, and the Balanced Budget Amendment. Tim serves on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which identifies waste, fraud, and abuse, and works to hold the federal government accountable. Leaving more resources in the private sector and our local communities will allow for more job creation and investment to help strengthen our Michigan economy.
