Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

The American Recovery and Reinvestment act ("Recovery Act") is creating jobs and strengthening the economy. It is making a real difference for families, providing new resources to local governments and business, and helping to end the economic free fall that has gripped the country for more than 18 months.

Our economic problems have been years in the making and they will not be solved overnight -- but the Recovery Act has helped pull us back from the brink of disaster and we are headed in the right direction.

Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District

The Recovery Act has committed $138.3 million to MS-02 (as of May 30, 2009). These investments include tax cuts for families and critical funds for new roads and improved highways, improved schools, safer communities, and modernized energy systems.
