Economy

For far too long, America’s broken tax code held our economy back from creating jobs, raising wages, and expanding opportunity for Americans. I was proud to support the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which has unleashed unprecedented economic growth in the United States. In the last six years we have seen historically low unemployment rates, record-breaking investment in American companies, and economic expansion throughout the United States.

I have taken the following action to strengthen our economy: 

  • Helped pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, historic tax reform that simplified the tax code, cut taxes for families and small businesses, and ushered in a new era of economic growth in America.
  • Introduced H.R. 5437, the Boosting America’s Exports Act, bipartisan legislation to help small businesses export their products.
  • Cosponsored H.R. 2213, bipartisan legislation to permanently extend the work opportunity tax credit.
  • Advocated for the bipartisan New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2019, which would spur increased investments in underdeveloped markets.
  • Fought for tax relief for craft beverage producers to help small businesses invest and grow.
  • Supported passage of the SECURE Act that makes it easier for Americans to save for retirement.
