Helping the economy grow and create jobs is my number one priority here in Congress. As a former lawyer and tax preparer in Wisconsin, I experienced firsthand how government can hinder private sector job creation with its myriad of regulations and red tape. In order to create jobs and improve wages for Americans, the federal government needs to get out of the way. Eliminating duplicative regulations, cutting wasteful spending, and streamlining our nation’s tax code will create incentives for businesses large and small to hire more workers, increase wages, and grow our nation’s economy.
