Mr. Speaker, while we are beginning to see signs of recovery, hardworking families and small business owners are still contending with the worst economic downturn in decades. Creating jobs and helping to get Arizona back on track remains my top priority. Washington can serve those goals by providing much needed tax relief for middle class households and entrepreneurs. It will be the American people, not the government alone, who will get our economy moving again. This Congress needs to support them by helping them keep more of their hard-earned money. That's why I fought for the largest middle class tax cut in American history. According to a report by Citizens for Tax Justice, 99 percent of working Arizonans benefited from that package on tax day, saving an average of over $1,000 each. Tax relief is putting money back into our local economies, spurring job creation and growth. I am proud to be standing up for this effort every step of the way. ____________________

This can't continue. We have to ensure that our workforce has access to good-paying union jobs here in the United States, and we must prioritize clean energy solutions at the same time.
