Issue Position

Minnesota is a prosperous state, but we can do so much more to make sure our economy is firing on all cylinders and creating new jobs. We need to invest in our infrastructure: roads, bridges, water systems, airports, and mass transit. Improving infrastructure will help our existing businesses to grow and expand and will create good paying jobs in the construction industries.

In addition to creating new jobs, we can improve our economy by improving the jobs we already have. Zack supports a guarantee of paid family leave for every Minnesotan who works full time. No one should lose a job because they have to take care of a new baby or a sick parent. Zack also supports raising the minimum wage to make sure that every working family does not live in poverty.
