Richard Cordray: Nurture small businesses rooted in local communities

Ohio has fewer jobs today than it had in 2001. Local communities need to be equal partners in job growth strategies. Currently many feel left out. We must be more effective in spreading economic opportunity around. At the same time, we are missing other opportunities. Small businesses rooted in local communities frequently create quality jobs that stand the test of time. Small business, nurtured with appropriate resources and support, can foster sustainable economic growth and innovation.

Richard Cordray: Developed guidelines to protect consumers from data breaches

The CFPB released nonbinding principles for third parties that use consumer financial data to help guide the development of solutions. The guidance said consumers should have ability to obtain information about their financial data from providers, while providers should collect information that does not expose consumers to data breaches, among other principles. "These principles express our vision for an innovative market that gives consumers protection and value," CFPB Director Cordray said.

Jim Renacci: Reduce the corporate tax rate to 25%, and individuals too

We should be doing everything we can to advance solutions that will grow our stagnant economy. We currently have the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, which has led to more jobs overseas and fewer here at home. We need to reduce the corporate tax rate to 25 percent, which will lead to the creation of more jobs & increased global competitiveness. We need to reduce rates and consolidate today's individual brackets to ensure that taxpayers face maximum rates of 25 percent or lower.
