Economy

Minnesota families and businesses should be allowed to keep more of their hard-earned money – the less money kept by individuals and job creators, the slower our economic recovery. Accordingly, Washington must work toward creating an environment that helps families by preserving tax relief and providing economic certainty so private sector employers can create jobs and put some of the millions of unemployed Americans back to work.

I am committed to taking every possible step to spur job creation and get our economy back on track so Americans can do what they do best: create, innovate, and lead. I support a pro-growth agenda focused on job creation and economic growth. It addresses our economic challenges, fosters innovation and investment, and helps job creators; all without raising taxes on working families and small business owners.

  • Require congressional review and approval of any government regulations that have a significant impact on the economy or burden small businesses.

Fix the Tax Code to Help Job Creators:

  • Increase American competitiveness to spur investment and create more American jobs by streamlining the tax code and lowering the tax rate for businesses and individuals including small business owners.
  • Reform the tax code to allow American businesses to bring back their overseas profits so they can invest in our economy and create American jobs.

Increase Competitiveness for American Manufacturers:

  • Continue to open new markets to American made products.

Encourage Entrepreneurship and Growth:

  • Modernize our patent system to protect our nation’s innovators, discourage frivolous lawsuits, and expedite patent reviews.
  • Improve the FDA approval processes to streamline development of new products and removed barriers to building a first class workforce so the United States can compete in the global marketplace and lead the way in technological development and growth.

Maximize Domestic Energy Production to Ensure an Energy Policy for the 21st Century:

  • Promote lower energy prices through increased domestic production.
