“Georgia’s economy and the American economy are booming— and I’m making sure it stays that way. In Congress, I have cut taxes on the middle class so that families can take home more of their hard-earned money. Cutting taxes on businesses allows them to grow and pass on savings to their employees in bonuses and other forms. With your vote on November 6, I’ll continue to keep our economy growing.” – Congressman Rick Allen
Congressman Allen founded his own small business, aconstruction company with offices in Augusta and Athens, so he knows firsthand how to create jobs. In Congress, he is making sure our economy continues to grow by cutting taxes and getting government red tape out of the way of innovation and growth.
