Positions
Job Creation
Morgan knows that to create new jobs in Southwest Virginia, we have to get government out of the way. High taxes, unnecessary regulation, and an over-reliance on foreign industry have strangled private businesses in our communities and prevented job growth. In Congress, Morgan introduced the EPA Regulatory Relief Act to reduce burdensome regulations on hospitals, manufacturers, and other businesses in our area so they can grow and provide jobs.
Protecting Coal and American Energy Resources
Morgan supports an “all of the above” energy approach and coal is a vital part of that plan. Morgan is working to provide funding to revitalize coal communities by reclaiming and restoring abandoned mine sites to create jobs and increase our coal production.
Securing Our Elections
Free, fair, and secure elections are the foundation for our democracy. Morgan supports commonsense solutions to secure our elections, such as requiring voter ID, clearing the deceased from voter rolls, and requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Reigning in Wasteful Spending
The national debt caused by the wasteful and excessive spending of Congress must come to an end. This will take time, but Morgan is working on legislation that would force Congress to spend no more than it receives, require the President to submit a balanced budget, and require a supermajority vote to increase the national debt limit.
