“I’m proud to lead this task force charged with the crucial challenge of addressing economic growth.  I have great faith in the abilities of American entrepreneurs—from small businesses to large corporations—to lead the way and believe government’s role is to make sure that policies are in place that foster and reward responsible risk-taking and innovation.  As a coalition, I am confident that the Blue Dogs will put forth common-sense, fiscally responsible ways to fast-track our economic recovery and develop a stronger, more competitive American economy."
