Creating New and Meaningful Jobs and Revitalizing the Economy

As a small businessman, Jason Plummer knows what it takes to create new jobs in Illinois. His economic development experience includes intensive work on projects throughout the state as well as work in the 43 R.P. Lumber locations throughout Illinois. His family is proud and humbled by the fact that they employ hundreds of people in their lumberyards and other companies in Illinois.

As Lt. Governor he will draw from that experience and use the office as a bully pulpit to help create new and meaningful jobs and revitalize the Illinois economy.

He will also work with employers, both small and large, to help remove the bureaucratic roadblocks that unnecessarily hinder their ability to grow their businesses and provide job opportunities and career growth to the hardworking people of Illinois.

Jason Plummer believes that many of Illinois’ economic woes are the result of failed leadership. Unfortunately, it appears that many in the Democratic Leadership in Springfield have lost sight of the fact that creating new jobs is the answer. Instead, they have embarked on a path that is easier and more politically expedient but sadly mortgages the future of our children. The Democratic Party Leadership in Springfield continues to write checks that we the Illinois taxpayers can’t cash.

Jason Plummer has the vision, drive and passion to begin moving Illinois forward by kick starting the state’s economic engine and creating new jobs.
