Revitalizing our economy and putting Americans back to work is my top priority in Washington. Unfortunately, families and small businesses are struggling. We need to get Americans back to work, and in order to do that, the federal government must not stifle job growth.
With this in mind, it is imperative that Congress pursue pro-growth policies that empower the private sector and limit the size and scope of the federal government. And we need to support policies that remove obstacles to job creation, including simplifying our complex tax code, ensuring better access to capital, reducing our debt and deficit, and stopping unnecessary federal regulations that are likely to do more harm than good.
Throughout my time in Congress, I served on the House Committee on Small Business. I previously served as Chairman from 2015-2018 and as Ranking Member from 2019-2020 and 2007-2008.
