Job Creators For Leppert is a coalition of business executives, small business owners, and entrepreneurs who understand that only a political outsider and proven job creator can fix this economy and put Americans back to work. For years, Americas private sector has witnessed the widespread dysfunction in both the way federal government operates and the policies it has pursued. President Obamas agenda of big government, burdensome regulations, and tax hikes have only made the unemployment and economic crises worse. Business leaders, small business owners and the American people are tired of politics as usual. They want to see more businessmen in elected office because they understand it will take leaders with business experience and expertise to clean up the economic mess the career politicians in Washington created. True to his roots as a businessman and problem solver, Tom Leppert has released a bold, conservative economic plan, An American Opportunity, which has received universal praise from Texas business leaders and conservatives. Job Creators For Leppert enthusiastically support his candidacy because simply put, empty political rhetoric is no substitute for Lepperts comprehensive blueprint of solutions reinforced by his 25 years of experience running small and large businesses, balancing budgets, signing both sides of a paycheck, and creating thousands of jobs.
