The candidate's website says, "Have a Community Rally in my home"

Believes small business owners should use buy-sell agreements and life insurance to manage ownership transitions. Supports measures to ensure business continuity and stability upon the death of a shareholder.

The candidate's website says, "While the investment is growing in your 401(k) account, you do not pay any taxes on it. When you withdraw the money at retirement, you pay taxes on the amount you withdraw from your account (so you pay taxes little by little instead of being hit with one big bill)."

The candidate's website says, "A Simplified Employee Pension–Individual Retirement Account (SEP–IRA) is an easy-to-administer plan that permits owners of small businesses and people who are self-employed to set aside money for retirement through tax-deferred investment accounts. A SEP–IRA is funded solely by employer contributions (which are tax-deductible as a business expense)."

Believes the Roth IRA is beneficial for investors who anticipate higher tax rates in retirement, allowing them to "lock in" their current tax rate.

Believes in simplifying the process for establishing retirement plans for small businesses by reducing IRS registration requirements and minimizing annual reporting to employees.

Believes employers often contribute to 401(k) plans through matching contributions, providing an immediate return on employee contributions.

Believes a 401(k) is the simplest and most convenient savings plan for American workers, encouraging long-term saving.
