Issue Position: Reducing Burdensome Regulations

Issue Position

I support the removal of burdensome regulations that take businesses' time and money away from expanding and creating jobs. In the fall of 2011 Congressman Labrador and I held a town hall meeting of key business owners. We asked them what was the one thing in their business that was killing job growth, and every business owner we talked too, said it was over regulation. That is not to say that some regulations are not necessary, but as policy makers we need to ensure we are creating public policy that helps create an environment in which business can thrive. I have found that most industries want to do what is right and to operate within the boundaries, yes, there are some bad actors that need punished, but we need to work with industry to develop good regulations and best practices for each industry,our citizens and the environment.
