TYLER HARPER JOINS GOVERNOR BRIAN KEMP TO DISCUSS BIDEN AND ABRAMS' FAILED ECONOMIC AGENDA |
|
MCDONOUGH – Yesterday, Tyler Harper, State Senator and candidate for Agriculture Commissioner in Georgia, joined Governor Brian Kemp to highlight Joe Biden's disastrous policies that have created an economic recession in our country. On top of the 40-year high inflation that has caused food, fuel and fertilizer prices across Georgia to skyrocket, Joe Biden has refused to put forward any sort of plan to deal with the recession his administration has created.
Thanks to Governor Kemp's strong, conservative leadership though, Georgia has the lowest unemployment in state history, a record number of labor force participation, and continues to be the #1 state to do business. In the State Senate, Tyler worked with the Governor to help pass the largest tax cut in state history, suspend the gas tax to provide relief at the pump, and help create more high paying jobs across the state. Tyler is proud to have Governor Kemp's full endorsement in his campaign for Agriculture Commissioner.

Tyler Harper said, "I was proud today to stand next to Governor Kemp and share Georgia's success story—which stands in stark contrast to the failed agenda of the Biden administration. Working alongside Governor Kemp, we passed the largest tax cut in Georgia history, protected lives and livelihoods during the pandemic, invested in our Port to improve our supply chains, suspended the gas tax to provide relief as the pump, and empowered our farmers and producers across the state who support agriculture, which is our state's number one industry. As Agriculture Commissioner, I will continue to push back against the disastrous policies coming out of Washington D.C., work to lower costs and strengthen our supply chains, and fight for our farmers, producers and consumers to advance our state's economy and its number one industry!"
