Issue Position: Job Creation

Issue Position

In the Senate, I'll work day and night to lift Nevada's economy by fighting for higher wages for workers, promoting innovation and small business entrepreneurship, and making Nevada even more enticing for new sectors and companies to move here.

I'll work to lower the tax burden for the middle-class and push Washington to start being responsible in budgeting taxpayer money. I'll fight for more transportation funding like the I-11 highway from Las Vegas to Phoenix, which will create jobs, spur commerce, and encourage tourism between these two major cities. We also need to continue to diversify our economy by investing in Nevada's emerging clean energy industry. Nevada has an abundance of solar, wind, and geothermal energy. It is vital that we capitalize on this, which will bring good-paying, middle-class jobs to our state that can't be outsourced.

Furthermore, I will fight against reckless trade deals that send American jobs overseas and work to end special tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas.
