Fighting for jobs in Louisiana

I want an America and a Louisiana where every person can get a decent job. But you can’t be for jobs if you’re against business, and you can’t be for business if you’re writing rules that tie the hands of our job creators. In the 1950s, only one American worker in 20 needed a government permit. Today, it’s one in three.

In my view, if you want to start a landscaping business, all you should need is a lawnmower: not a lawnmower, a lawyer, a CPA, and a compliance officer. We’ve already begun the process of repealing regulations to streamline the government contracting and infrastructure authorization processes to make them more competitive.

As a member of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, I am committed to promoting policies that will bring good paying jobs back to Louisiana, reduce red tape, and offer Louisiana’s hardworking small business owners some much needed tax relief.
