As a Republican candidate, I believe we should create and maintain a competitive business environment to promote economic prosperity and once again make Minnesota the economic engine of the Upper Midwest. This business climate not only needs to have a competitive place for small-business owners to innovate and flourish, but we need to be able to attract employees and families who will be attracted to the job growth.
I know that businesses need support to grow. We have a tough economic climate and Minnesota ranks in the bottom 5 states in terms of "business friendly" climate.
