Economy

Economy is among Star Johnson's top priorities. She strongly believes that in order to boost this sector, well-paying jobs in Ohio must be created and maintained by fostering government stimulus. Johnson believes in the immense possibilities of small businesses and therefore aims to encourage and support entrepreneurs.

Johnson proposes tax incentives to assist small and large businesses. She explains, "I support tax incentives that will create jobs [by] offering longevity throughout our Ohio's communities." In doing so, she promotes a viable solution to overcome Ohio's economic crisis. She intends to work in partnership with the private sector, as well as with non-profit organizations.

Furthermore, Johnson stands for the further restructuring of the economic system. She strongly believes that moving the budget is not the solution to the declining economy; she plans to identify the main causes of Ohio's recent downfall, which hinder our communities' economic turnaround.

Johnson is determined to take Ohio's issues to Capitol Hill and fight to provide economic relief to Ohioans, as she cannot predict Federal Government support. Although maintaining and creating well-paying jobs represents a challenge, Johnson believes it is possible.

With more than ten years of experience in the management sector, highly promising political-force Star Johnson is committed to providing jobs and to improving the lives of her beloved Ohioans. She is not afraid of the challenge, being eager to work hard to overcome the bad economic situation from which an overwhelming number of Ohioans suffer.

Star defines herself as a common citizen, who deeply understands the effects of the current economy. Johnson declares, "I share the same concerns you share, I believe our stories are different, but our pains are the same." She concludes, "I am here to serve people."
