Issue Position: Jobs

Issue Position

As your Representative, I believe that growing our economy is the most important issue facing our country. I also believe that the best way to grow our economy is to get the government out of the way so that families, businesses, and individuals can prosper.

During this session of Congress (Jan. 2013-present), I have introduced four bills to bolster Idaho's economy. These bills would reduce federal interference in the management of our resources, expand our resource production, and create jobs.

I've also cosponsored dozens of bills to rejuvenate our economy. These bills cover a wide spectrum of issues -- from energy to health care, from taxes to spending, from infrastructure to workforce development. These bills would have a powerful and immediate effect on our economy. Not only would they create jobs, they would also spur other benefits -- from lower energy prices to better health care, from a better quality of life to a stronger American Dream.

I am proud to support these bills and I will continue to champion them. Please see below for a full list of bills I've introduced to allow our economy to flourish. Following that is a list of bills I've cosponsored to help create jobs. I will keep these lists updated as events change. Thank you for your interest.
