State of New Jersey Archives: on Free Trade


Tom MacArthur: Free market policies based on private sector experience

The Economy & Jobs: Tom is a self-made businessman who came from middle-class roots. His nearly thirty years in the private sector began with an entry-level job earning $13,000 per year, and culminated with growing a local NJ company into a national business. Throughout his career he helped to create and preserve thousands of American jobs. Tom will use that real world experience to get our economy growing again. He will promote free market policies that foster the creation of good-paying, American jobs, and empower entrepreneurs and business leaders by eliminating burdensome regulations and bureaucratic red tape that stifle job creation.
