Issue Position: Economic Growth

Issue Position

The past 8 years, North Carolina has made tremendous strides in improving our economy and laying the foundation for many more years of economic growth. Aggressively reducing our tax rates for businesses and individuals has helped North Carolina to experience significant job growth, while allowing hard working families to keep more of their hard earned money. Fiscal responsibility and keeping government spending under control has allowed North Carolina to experience an actual revenue surplus the past two years. We need to keep our economy growing and support fiscally responsible policy to lead the way. One area we need to pursue more aggressively is identifying and eliminating wasteful spending. With more than 25 years of business experience, I know how to reduce costs, eliminate duplication and streamline operations. It is long past time to stop talking about running our government more like a business and start doing it.
