Schneider said on his campaign website:[3]
As a small businessman I see the need for government to be fiscally responsible by passing balanced budgets, cutting spending, and creating an environment where businesses can prosper and create jobs without government interference. I will continue to work in the Senate Majority to pass truly balanced budgets, keep taxes low and promote policies that help businesses put Hoosiers back to work.
