Issue Position

Our state needs an economy that works for everyone, including jobs that pay a living wage and the promise of security in retirement.

I support the use of targeted tax incentives to attract new business in exchange for the promise of new jobs, union organization to increase the influence workers have over working conditions and fair pay, and programs to train talented unemployed and underemployed workers for higher skill, higher paying jobs.

Restoring the Earned Income Tax Credit and raising the minimum wage would give working people more money to spend in their communities.
