U.S. Second District Congressional candidate Jackie Walorski visited Warsaw Wednesday to discuss her run for the seat.

She faces Democrat Brendan Mullen, South Bend, in the Nov. 6 election.

She stopped by the Times-Union office to discuss issues important to her.

Walorski, South Bend, described the medical device tax as “job killing” to Kosciusko County and Indiana.

She said the public sector must roll back the medical device tax.

“The industry is supporting baby boomers who are retiring at 10,000 per week and it makes no sense to penalize these entities that cater to baby boomers and penalizing the companies because they serve senior citizens,” Walorski said.

Walorski also discussed job creation, and said it starts with bringing certainty back into the marketplace. She said that includes balancing the budget, developing a plan to reduce the budget and rationing back company regulations especially for Kosciusko County and the region.

“Until we release small businesses and give them the parameters to hire we are stagnant,” Walorski said.

Walorski said she believes it is not the responsibility of the public sector to be hiring, but it’s the responsibility of government to take regulations off the private sector and allow the private sector to hire.

She said she feels it is important to have an independent voice to stand up for people in the second district.

“I believe in the grassroot efforts and that people in the second district know better how to run their lives than the people in Washington,” Walorski said.

She said her focus is on rebuilding the economy.

“If we can’t rebuild the economy than we won’t bring this country back,” Walorski said.

She discussed the importance of appealing Obamacare and how it is creating uncertainty in the marketplace.

“Businesses will not be able to spend a dime until we bring certainty back into Washington because small businesses are behind lock and key,” Walorski said.
