Jobs and Economic Growth

My position on the Senate Budget and Finance Committees allows me to work to ensure South Dakota’s small businesses are competing in an environment that encourages them to grow and create new jobs. Specifically, I will work to ensure that the programs Congress has created to help small businesses are not only successful, but help those that are most in need in a way that is not overly burdensome.
