Rep. Calvert Votes to Eliminate Job Stifling Regulations

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) voted along with a majority (238 to 183) of the House in support of the Regulatory Accountability Act, H.R. 5. The bill would eliminate overly burdensome red tape and regulation in order to lift unnecessary burdens on hardworking Americans and to promote jobs, innovation, and economic growth.

"One of the overwhelming messages voters sent during the last election was that we must stop the onslaught of job-killing regulations coming out of Washington," said Rep. Calvert. "The passage of the Regulatory Accountability Act is a good step towards easing the choke-hold Obama administration bureaucrats have placed on American job-creators. I look forward to working with the incoming Trump administration to find additional ways to help small businesses grow and hire more workers."
