Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Giroux's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Job Creation and Economic Growth: Creating jobs and boosting our economy is a top priority. As your congressman, I will work to revive the innovative spirit that historically defines our district. We must end tax breaks for outsourcers and put Kansas first. We need a roadmap for future growth that includes investment in roads and bridges, simplifying the tax code tax, and creating opportunity for innovation Fair Trade: We must fight job-killing “free trade” agreements that ship American jobs overseas. Our state’s businesses and workers generate billions of dollars in exports, but unfair trade agreements destroy Kansas businesses, lower wages and force worker layoffs. We need agreements that are fair to American workers and American companies. Fair Pay: Women currently earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. We must pass legislation that guarantees women equal pay for equal work. This is a key step for a fairer, more just society. We must raise the minimum wage to where it benefits the economy, empowers workers, and helps small businesses. Millions of Americans work full time, yet still live in poverty. Some big businesses are being subsidized by taxpayers as their low-wage employees are forced onto public assistance. Make Higher Education More Affordable: It’s time to end predatory student loan practices and charge students a fair interest rate and make repayment of the loans less of a burden on those starting their career. Working families face rapidly increasing costs that deny their children a chance at a college education. Our children are our future, and increased access to education helps America win. Guarantee Tax Fairness: All Americans should pay their fair share of taxes. Unfair tax loopholes that allow CEOs to pay a lower percentage in taxes than their secretaries must end. Sensible tax reform will protect the middle class and avoid punishing those who have built businesses that create jobs.	”
