The promise of America is that if you get an education, work hard and play by the rules you can enjoy your version of the American Dream, but wage stagnation coupled with rising costs are threatening that promise. That's why I am fighting for an economy that rewards hard work and provides opportunities to all American workers, while at the same time fostering innovative ideas that will keep us competitive in the 21st century.

That's why Jared is fighting to:

*Grow the economy with targeted, smart investments in education, infrastructure, science and medical research.

*Reform our tax code by eliminating loopholes for corporations and the fossil fuel industry; create a tax code that truly works for the middle class and small business owners

*Reward hard work for middle income workers by raising the minimum wage, making sure employees are paid the overtime they deserve and incentivizing companies to share profits with employees.

*Level the playing field by ensuring equal pay for equal work as well as fighting for paid leave
