100% rating from MN Chamber of Commerce

Minnesota Chamber of Commerce gives Brian Johnson a 100% rating

6 Construction Deal

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the state’s largest business advocacy organization, recently gave Rep. Brian Johnson a 100% rating on their 2014 legislative scorecard. The Chamber examined the voting records of every state legislator and found that Brian consistently supported a pro-jobs, pro-growth agenda.

“I’m happy to have received a 100% rating from the Minnesota Chamber, but there is still a lot of work to do next session. Minnesota is becoming a difficult place to do business in, with some of the highest property, corporate, and income tax rates in the nation. If we want job creators to stay here in the district and not relocate to more business-friendly states, we need be smarter about how we tax and regulate. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce understands this and is an important voice for the 2,400+ employers in our state.” – Representative Johnson

Jobs and Opportunity

Minnesotans are still hurting from the Great Recession. Our neighboring states have enacted pro-growth policies and forced government to live within its means. The DFL and Governor Dayton however have responded by raising billions in new taxes and growing government at an unprecedented rate. Brian believes a new approach is needed to encourage job creation and opportunity in our district.
Brian’s plan:
  • Reduce and streamline state spending by prioritizing infrastructure and public safety and eliminating wasteful government programs
  • Lower taxes and eliminate regulations that put our businesses at a disadvantage over neighboring states
  • Reduce property taxes to encourage job creators to stay in the area

 

Public Safety

With over 26 years of law enforcement experience, Brian Johnson has made the safety of his community his life’s work. That’s why when the state announced that dozens of dangerous sex offenders would be transferred to a residential facility in Cambridge, Brian led the fight to stop it.

Life

In 1960, if abortion is as prevalent then as it is today Brian may not be telling his story. His parents adopted him as an infant and raised him as their own. Brian supports protecting life and encouraging adoption.
