Issue Position: Economy

Issue Position

Today, our nation is facing its most significant economic challenges since the Great Depression. Delaware families are struggling to provide for their children, pay their mortgage, and save for college or retirement.

I strongly believe that our future depends on creating jobs and building a 21st century economy in Delaware. We need to make things again in the U.S., and our best opportunity to do that is by investing in emerging, renewable energy technology. I know these opportunities first hand and will work to help businesses create good paying jobs and a clean energy future by supporting advancements in green technology.

I also know that small businesses are the engine of growth in our economy. I am committed to lowering the tax burden and reducing federal regulations on small businesses to help them grow and create jobs. I will also work with banks and the federal financial system to ensure that qualified small businesses can get access to the credit they need to expand.

I also know that too much government debt will be a drag on our economy in the long term. I will make it a top priority to get government spending under control and reduce the national deficit. I am committed to making the smart, fiscally responsible decisions that create jobs, help small businesses grow, and get our economy back on track.
