Legislation

My top priority is to put workers in Central Florida back on the job by removing unnecessary government intrusion from your offices and living rooms, and setting our fiscal house in order to protect the opportunities that should await all future generations of Americans.

For too long, Central Floridians have been forced to wait and see if tax-and-spend policies would turn this economy around; these policies clearly have come up short. In order to truly revitalize our economy for long-term sustainability, we must remove roadblocks that business and entrepreneurs face. I’ve heard from constituents across Central Florida with solutions to create jobs and provide families with financial security once again.
