At a time when Washington operates under divided government, we can’t afford to wait for the government to take action and help our local economy.

That’s why I’m incredibly proud that over the past few months I’ve been able to assist in recruiting efforts to bring jobs into our community.

This week I’ve been touring small businesses across the Tenth District to hear directly from owners about how we can turn around our economy and get more people back to work.

We’ve also held three job fairs in the last year that have featured over one thousand available jobs.

As always, I remain fully committed to delivering bipartisan, solutions-based leadership for the 10th District and will work with anyone to ease the financial burden on families while also making American businesses more competitive in the global marketplace.
