Issue Position: Jobs and the Economy

Issue Position

I believe Maine people are hard-working, creative and want what any of us do -- the opportunity to do productive, rewarding work and provide for their family. I have spent my entire career creating opportunities for individuals to build a rewarding and sustaining livelihood, gain access to a quality job, higher education, or to start a business, and save for their future.

I supported increasing the minimum wage so that hard working Mainers working full time have the opportunity to earn a livable wage.

I support investments in research and development and efforts to encourage entrepreneurship and business development. Small businesses are the engine of our economy, producing the majority of our jobs.
