More Jobs
We can accomplish great things in West Virginia. The building blocks are in place for unprecedented prosperity and job growth. I believe we can make changes in our government that will help the private sector to create jobs.
I have spent my entire public life making government a partner with the private sector to attract new industry to West Virginia, and building bridges between business and labor to create jobs. As Governor, I’ll make jobs my number one priority. I will go anywhere, do anything, and spend every waking moment focused on expanding the number of good jobs for the people of our State.
We have a natural advantage here in West Virginia - we have the hardest working, most dedicated workforce in the world. I'm proud to have the endorsement of the West Virginia AFL-CIO and other union groups because they know I believe we can create jobs and bring in new employers without resorting to things such as a Right-to-Work law. Now is our time.
Now is our time to promote West Virginia as a great place to do business. Companies like Toyota, Hino, Coldwater Creek, and Macy's believe in West Virginia. And if we believe in ourselves, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Now is our time to make sure that government does not throttle job creation - but instead enables it. As Governor, I’ll fight for lower taxes, fair and reasonable regulation, and schools that are second to none in preparing our children to compete and win in the world economy.
If we keep our focus - on jobs - everything else will fall into place.
I go to work every day thinking about how to create jobs, ready to fight for opportunities for you and your family. Is there something else we should be doing to create jobs? Let me know - I won’t leave a single stone unturned.
