The best social program in the world is a good-paying job, and I've worked hard to help create new jobs and spur business growth in South Jersey.
The Economic Opportunity Act of 2013 has already begun to bring new businesses and expand employment opportunities in our area because I fought hard to ensure that it focused on South Jersey's specific needs and strengths.
As a member of the state legislature, I have focused on strengthening our region's core industries including our colleges and universities, hospitals, and ports. In Congress I will work to continue to support these economic drivers and work to bring the benefits of American-made renewable energy to our area.
I have also been a leader in modernizing our state's brewing and distilling laws. These efforts have directly led to the opening of multiple small businesses throughout the state and created jobs along with unique, Jersey-made craft brews and spirits.
As your representative in Congress, I will bring these innovative ideas to the national level and work to create family-sustaining jobs for all Americans.
