Encouraging Private Sector Job Growth In The Eighth District
Open Door Darke County:
Tuesday, See below for times...
Union City Village Offices; Darke County Administrative Building; Bradford Municipal Building
On Monday, I visited three small businesses to discuss how government
can help encourage private sector job growth in the Eighth District.
With stops in Hamilton, Greenville, and Coldwater, each company had
their own unique suggestions and concerns for what they would like to
see government do but the one message I heard time and again was that
they need government to get out of the way so they can invest, expand,
and employ more folks.
The following day I attended the Dayton Chamber of Commerce Annual
Breakfast where I heard more of the same sentiment. House
Republicans are listening and we are going to continue to work to
create an environment where small businesses are confident and able to
create jobs.
At the end of the jobs forum we held in the Capitol last month, I
outlined the steps we are taking in the House that will help job
creators get back to creating jobs. The first was passing a
budget that will actually help job creation, not hinder it, and we
voted to approve the Ryan Budget which will do just that. The
second was having a plan that addresses rising gas prices and
increasing production of American energy. We proposed our plan, the
American Energy Initiative, and are working hard to implement each
piece.
Third was expanding trade to new regions around the world to help
create American jobs. Recently we were encouraged when the
administration finally came to an agreement on opening American exports
to Colombia. Finally, we are taking significant steps to rein in the
job-crushing regulations that have been hurting businesses of all sizes
for too long.
There is much work still to be done in each of these areas, but I can
assure you that House Republicans will remain dedicated to eliminating
the economic uncertainty facing our job creators so we can get
Americans back to work.
Making Progress In Iraq And Afghanistan
“This past week, I led a six-member congressional delegation to Iraq
and Afghanistan to assess the progress being made in each
country. I have valued each of my visits to the region because it
provides a unique, on-the-ground perspective of the opportunities and
challenges facing our troops and civilians. While the situations
in Iraq and Afghanistan are very different, we are seeing progress and
hope.” Read More
