Issue Position: Economic Development

Issue Position

Good jobs are the anchors of strong families and healthy communities, and the best driver of economic growth in our communities. Will believes that the first priority of state and local government must be promoting smart economic development that creates jobs for our residents and stability for our community. Will knows that the state can help drive this growth by supporting the right kind of private-sector job growth, and investing in education and job training.

What Will's going to do:

Back public programs to rebuild our state's infrastructure while bringing jobs to Illinoisans and boosting the state's economy

Offer incentives to banks to lend more freely to small businesses, the biggest source of new jobs in our economy

Invest in education at every level, to help our working families develop the skills to succeed in the modern economy.
