Issue Position: Economy

Issue Position

Creating and maintaining viable economic opportunities in District 95 is among my top priorities. When elected I'll work with community and business leaders to attract job opportunities to the district. I will also partner with entrepreneurs within the district to explore home grown economic development strategies. I will work to make sure that members of our community are aware of financial and loan programs available during these difficult economic times.

I support increasing economic opportunities for small and minority/women owned Businesses. Success among minority-owned businesses translates to increased jobs, increased wealth and long-term prosperity for all of our district's residents. Additionally, I will work to improve and protect pensions for teachers and state employees and create new opportunities by supporting programs that retrain unemployed workers for new jobs.
