As a former small business owner, my employees were like my own family. I know many Utahns that are suffering through what has become the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression. I've learned that if you want to restore hope for the American worker, give them a job. Foster an environment where jobs are being created and the economy is growing. It's American small businesses that are moving our economy forward. I will continue to work to create an environment that favors job creation, small businesses and a strong economy. |
