Our economy is moving in the wrong direction.

As I travel across the state listening to job creators and small business owners, the one thing I hear over and over is this: “Massachusetts is a very difficult place to do business.”

Massachusetts is losing jobs to competing states because of unpredictable and changing tax laws, unfair health care costs that penalize small businesses, high-energy costs, and unreasonable rules, regulations, and permitting laws enacted by state bureaucrats who’ve never met a payroll.

As Governor, I will build a pro-growth strategy for Massachusetts that focuses on every business in the state, not on just a few select industries. And, I am committed to following through on that strategy during my term.

I’ll fight to make the Commonwealth a better place to do business, and help job creators and their families pursue their dreams here in Massachusetts.
