Gerald Malloy: Rejuvenate America's entrepreneurial spirit: grow jobs

I will grow well-paying jobs in Vermont. I am a businessman. I have 15 years of Business Development success--growing business and jobs. I work in highly competitive technology and services environments, including Washington DC, across industry, government, and academia. I will bring business and jobs to Vermont. Your members of Congress have not done this; I will.

I see America's entrepreneurial spirit waning. I will work to rejuvenate it in Congress and with our Governor and Legislation to promote business and innovation, not stifle it. I have visited hundreds of Vermont businesses, the common theme I heard is 'reduce government regulation'--I will.
