Issue Position: Jobs and Economy

Issue Position

Small business is the economic engine of America. As your representative I voted to cut taxes to attract more jobs and opportunity leading to a 41% drop in unemployment. We need to work hard to make Mississippi the number one place to do business. We must also take care of our veterans who looking for jobs. I voted to give employers a tax credit for hiring honorably discharged veterans who served our country on or after 9/11/01. This credit is extended to those former service men and women who have been unemployed for six consecutive months or longer. As business in MS continues to grow, and unemployment drops, we must remember that the men and women that have fought for us to have these opportunities need jobs after their service careers are over.
