Issue Position

Jazz's vision of Prince George's County is one where we use the advantages we have for our citizens' benefit. He is committed to cultivating transit oriented and affordable mixed use development that provides healthy food access, high quality retail, as well as high-paying jobs for county residents. This includes investing in skills based training programs such as trade apprenticeships, STEM courses in primary schools, and tax incentives to help grow small and minority firms. Jazz also fights to improve job conditions for workers and was proud to co-sponsor legislation that expanded paid sick leave to over 700,000 Maryland workers and legislation that would increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
