Economic Prosperity

Small businesses and a strong middle class are the strength of our great nation. Unfortunately, the administrative state and unaccountable bureaucrats continue to stifle innovation, create obstacles for prosperity, and favor corporate interests over the wellbeing of everyday Americans.

As a former small business owner that manufactured his products in America, Representative Crane recognizes the challenges entrepreneurs face while operating their businesses at home. Washington politicians enacted one-sided international agreements, suffocating regulations, and facilitated wasteful government spending, which destroyed once prosperous sectors of our economy. In order to reverse the damage, we must reduce taxes & regulations, unleash domestic energy production, avoid nation building & forever wars, rebuild our manufacturing base, and rein in out-of-control federal spending that destroys our buying power. Rep. Crane believes that individual liberty and limited government serve as catalysts for economic prosperity, and he will continue to push back against federal overreach.
