Matt Dolan on Budget & Economy

	Matt Dolan on Budget & Economy

Ballooning national debt is a national security threat

Ohio's hardworking families should not be forced to bear the brunt of Washington's reckless and out-of-control spending binge. For too long lawmakers have ignored our ballooning national debt and have failed to take action. This represents nothing less than a national security threat to ourselves and future generations. As a fiscal conservative, I will fight wasteful spending and protect Ohio taxpayers' hard-earned dollars.

As a State Senator and Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, Matt Dolan has solidified his standing as a conservative leader by keeping his promises to reduce the size and scope of government, protect Ohio communities, and deliver record-breaking tax cuts. Matt's most recent budget earned wide praise from state and national conservative organizations, including the Ohio Republican Party which labeled his effort "the most conservative budget in Ohio legislative history."

Support targeted infrastructure, not bloated wishlists

An overhaul of America's infrastructure is long overdue. I will oppose bloated Democrat wishlists that contribute to our nation's debt while also keeping up the fight for targeted infrastructure that is paid for, does not contribute to inflation and directly improves Ohio energy production, roads, bridges and airports to boost economic growth and American competitiveness against China.

Supports bipartisan infrastructure bill that Trump opposes

Dolan came out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure legislation that Portman negotiated. He was the only one of Portman's potential GOP successors who didn't bash the deal, which Trump has urged Republicans to reject. "I think Ohioans want someone to go to Washington and engage, and to me it is really, really disappointing that no other Republican in this race is supporting the infrastructure package," he said. "Infrastructure is hugely important to our economic development." Source: Toledo Blade on 2022 Ohio Senate race , Aug 19, 2021
