As a small business owner; I understand what it takes to create new jobs. In 2013, our company was recognized by Inc. Magazine as the fastest growing private manufacturing company in the State of Oklahoma and the 30th fastest in the USA. If we want to grow our state's economy; it's important to elect legislators that have actually helped create jobs vs. just campaigning on the issue. If more legislators understood what it's like to make a payroll, live within their budgets, and deal with government regulation then they would better understand how to create an atmosphere for economic growth and prosperity. The best path forward for our state is thru sustainable economic growth.
