Government bureaucracies and red tape continue to be one of the biggest reasons why companies find it difficult to create jobs in our state.  This is especially true when it comes to our business taxes which are among the highest in the country.  Ryan will work to make Pennsylvania’s business tax and regulatory structure competitive with other states to stop employers from leaving and encourage new employers to settle here.

Ryan will push to use state money on wise investments in job creation.  That means supporting the small businesses and entrepreneurs who drive our economy.  It also means using that money to re-invigorate our manufacturing sector – because a strong manufacturing sector means new jobs for our families and new products to sell and grow our economy.

The recent surge in leasing activities in the Marcellus Shale natural gas reserve has the potential to positively transform our economy.  Ryan will work to ensure our Commonwealth realizes its fullest potential in terms of job creation.  He will also strive to make sure our state becomes one of the largest exporters of natural gas in the world reducing our dependence on foreign oil and making our country safer.
