Issue Position: Economy

Issue Position

This election is about JOBS and diversifying West Virginia's economy. As a businessman and a small business owner, I know job creation requires a stable and consistent tax structure, less regulation and civil justice reform.

I remain concerned about the current trend of our state's finances, although improving, and our need for greater business diversification in our local and state economies. We must be proactive in creating employment opportunities in West Virginia through incentivizing business to protect our current job base, as well as, creating opportunities to add new employees. These opportunities are best created through legislation that is introduced and supported by experienced business people. I commit to you that I will continue to work to improve a job creating environment in West Virginia.
