Issue Position: Reducing Regulations & Creating Jobs

Issue Position

As State Senator, Kathleen has worked hard to get our friends and neighbors back to work. She has successfully fought to protect businesses and professionals from frivolous lawsuits, allowing them to grow and hire more Floridians. In 2013, Kathleen successfully sponsored HB 575, protecting design professionals from being personally sued while working as employees of a company. She has voted to cut over 270 burdensome regulations and get government out of the way, and it has worked. Since December 2010, Florida businesses have created 1,397,400 private-sector jobs, and Florida's job growth has outpaced the Nation's for nearly five and a half years.

In 2018, Kathleen received the "Most Valuable Legislator Award" from the Florida Chamber of Commerce to honor her outstanding legislative leadership and continued support of free enterprise. Kathleen was also named a 2018 Champion for Business by the Associated Industries of Florida. She also received the Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida, Legislator of the Year Award in 2017; and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, State Legislative Achievement Award in 2016
