Views
She is an advocate of lower taxes and less burdensome regulations in order to increase economic growth. She has proposed putting longshore unions and employers under the Railway Labor Act instead of the National Labor Relations Act, and argues that raising the minimum wage would do more harm than good because it would deprive low-skill workers and teens of jobs.
Family
