Second term in congress

Citizens of Austria,

I'm running for a second term in congress under the Rot Weiss Rot party.
During my first term I proposed two laws, one to raise the import tax on grain from 1% to 15%. Now that we have a high grain production region with Lower Austria it's easier for local Austrian companies to meet the needs of the food companies. Raising the import tax will allow our local companies to be competitive but not totally drive away foreign grain companies as the tax increase was only 15%. My other proposal was to raise the income tax on the gift industry from 2% to 5%. The income tax rate should be equal across all industries to be fair to the workers and companies.

You can see the record on both here:

I believe we are making progress and would like the opportunity to continue to serve.
