Issue Position: Pro-Growth Economic Policies & Job Creation

Issue Position

New Jersey has a combination of advantages no other state can boast - good people, a smart and talented workforce, an industrial backbone, world-class ports, strong schools, friendly small towns, livable suburbs, cities with great potential, beautiful beaches, rolling hills, significant history, and productive farms. We should still be an economic powerhouse, as New Jersey was for most of our history. The trick is to get out of the way and let our people prosper again. Our economic stagnation is attributable to bad government policies -- but we can change that.

New Jersey does not necessarily need more laws, it needs better ones. Tax cuts and reduced government spending are the engines of New Jersey's economic recovery. We should be focused on removing the government-created obstacles to economic prosperity and job creation.

In addition to reducing income and corporate taxes and reining in government spending to establish the foundation for economic success, I have advocated for economic policies like the Home-Based Jobs Creation Act, which would make it easier for individuals to work or start businesses out of their own homes while respecting the rights of neighborhoods and local authorities.
