During August recess, I had the opportunity to visit communities across the First Congressional District and hold constructive and engaging public events to discuss the issues impacting Arizona communities. During many of these discussions, it became apparent that Arizonans agree with what I’ve been saying: we need tax reform to stimulate our economy and create jobs that will strengthen and grow our local communities. You expect Congress to take action, and I agree. As I return to Washington, I will be ready to get to work on tax reform.
I will sit down with Republicans and Democrats to streamline and modernize our tax system to create a fair tax code. We must bring relief to hardworking families and small business owners and provide incentives that encourage corporations to bring business back to our communities and hire American workers.
I’ve heard from many Arizona families who are struggling to make ends meet. The rising cost of health care, housing, higher education and energy have strained the pocketbooks of hardworking Arizonans who haven’t seen a pay raise in years. As we begin to reform our outdated tax system, we must ensure that they will see real tax relief that puts their money back in their pockets.
