Jobs and the Economy

Senator Hise is focused on helping small businesses create jobs and revitalizing our economy in western North Carolina. He believes a balanced budget, lower taxes and less government red tape will help change our state's business climate and bolster the resolve and creativity of our citizens and businesses to create lasting new jobs. In the General Assembly, Senator Hise has:

Closed a record $2.5 billion budget deficit left by former Governor Beverly Perdue and previous Democrat leaders.
Cut wasteful government spending and passed balanced state budgets every year -- without raising taxes.
Supported tax reforms that will return more than $1 billion to North Carolina families and businesses.
Eased burdens on small businesses by making changes to our regulatory environment and simplifying outdated, confusing and unnecessary rules and regulations. Under Democrat control, more than 15,000 new regulations and changes were implemented over the past decade alone.
