Issue Position: Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Issue Position

America's economy is transitioning to an innovation and information economy. In order to keep our economy competitive with the rest of the world, my top priority is to use my experience starting and running online businesses to ensure that our new innovation economy works for everyone and has the power to unleash new opportunities for every American to prosper. I have spent my time in Congress proposing and supporting legislation that makes the American Dream achievable to all, but there is still much work to do.

That's why Jared is fighting to:

* Provide tax relief for individuals and small businesses.

* Small Businesses are the backbone of our economy, and more importantly, our local communities. It's time to reform our tax code--by limiting deductions and eliminating special interest loopholes so we can reduce tax rates.

* Expand access to traditional sources of capital and crowd funding

* Evolve our education system to meet the needs of our changing economy so have a skilled and trained workforce that matches the jobs of the future.

* Grow our economy and strengthen the middle class. In order for any business to be successful, there must be a strong consumer base that starts with building a strong middle class here in America and expanding access to markets abroad.
