Issue Position: Fight for a Prosperous Economic Future

Issue Position

Jansen is an avid supporter of America's free-market economy. He believes economic freedom goes hand-in-hand with individual freedom. Our ability to choose our career, build a business, or buy products should be free from government coercion, unreasonable regulation, and excessive taxation. Jansen believes that the best way to grow the economy and create new jobs is by reducing taxes and overly burdensome regulations, paving the way for innovation to provide Mississippians with better products and services as well as new industries and good paying jobs. Jansen will fight to keep the government off the backs of small business owners and job creators.

Mississippi is unique. We have the best community college system in America with one of the nation's finest -- Pearl River Community College -- situated right in the center of District 106. Jansen believes that our community college system is Mississippi's "secret weapon" and its key to a prosperous economic future. To grow Mississippi's economy, Jansen believes we should harness this secret weapon by investing in our community colleges in new and innovative ways.

Jansen will introduce legislation that will foster more partnerships between high schools and community colleges throughout the state, so that students in their last two years of high school can receive vocational training that will make them trained and ready to enter Mississippi's workforce upon graduation. Moreover, Jansen will work to provide our community colleges with the resources they need to offer the latest vocational training programs that will attract industries looking to find a home. What better place to open a manufacturing plant than in the same town as a community college fully equipped and capable of training your entire workforce?
