Is Washington Holding Back Your Business?  Capito Wants To Hear From You


(Click on the picture above to view the video on YouTube)

WASHINGTON—Today, Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., released a new video inviting local businesses to share with Members of Congress how government regulations are holding them back through American Job Creators. The initiative is part of an ongoing effort by Republicans to encourage our nation’s job creators to share their stories about how government impacts job creation.

“Right now families and businesses are hurting.  14 million of our neighbors can’t find jobs.  My top priority is putting West Virginia – and America – back to work.  We need to stop out-of-touch bureaucrats from holding back our job creators,” stated Capito.  “To get it right, I need your help. I hope West Virginians will take this opportunity to tell Washington how government rules, regulations, and red tape impact job creation.”

Small business owners, entrepreneurs and innovators can visit American Job Creators to tell Washington how red tape and regulations are helping or hurting their business.

Election Day is Tomorrow.

Tomblin

Tomorrow is Election Day in the race for the next governor of West Virginia.

The Charleston Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors endorses Earl Ray Tomblin for governor in the special election.

“Earl Ray Tomblin is a strong and effective leader.  As governor, he has – and will continue to – create jobs and lower taxes to benefit the Kanawha Valley and West Virginia,“ said Chamber Chairman Mike Basile. “His vast experience in government and private business makes him an ideal choice to lead our state.”

“Through his leadership in the West Virginia Senate – and now as governor – he has played a major role in molding policy that has produced the strong fiscal state that West Virginia presently enjoys,” Basile said. “This has led to the reduction of the food tax, business franchise tax and corporate net income taxes.”

As part of the endorsement process, the Chamber considers a candidate’s effectiveness as a political, business or community leader, and whether he or she is accessible and receptive to the Chamber and the views of the local business community.

“Our mission is to endorse candidates who share our vision for economic growth and opportunity for our citizens,“ said Chamber President Matt Ballard. “I have worked closely with Governor Tomblin in several capacities. I know he loves West Virginia and has the political and business acumen to lead our entire state through these tough economic times.”

The Chamber speaks out for the policies and reforms that help create jobs, promote government efficiency, stimulate growth for communities and enhance the overall quality of life for West Virginians. It represents more than 600 businesses and their 40,000 employees.
