Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

As a small business owner, I understand how over-regulation is suffocating businesses across Southwest Virginia and the Commonwealth. Virginia has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the country. As Delegate, I will fight to oppose such taxes and regulations, so Virginia will become a more appealing place for businesses to expand. As an active Barter Theater board member I understand the need for increased tourism to the Southwest Virginia region. Though I will always stand up for our coal jobs, I will also work to bring jobs to our region by improving our regional job training centers and community colleges, and by working to grow our tourism economy. This "all of the above" approach will go a long way to improve the lives of Southwest Virginians
