Issue Position: Creating Jobs

Issue Position

It's no secret that New Mexico is lagging behind when it comes to adding new jobs. The failed policies of corporate tax cuts, stagnant wages, and cuts to job creating industries have left many families in Albuquerque behind. Everyone who is willing to work hard deserves the opportunity to access a good job with a fair wage here in New Mexico. Natalie believes that it's time that we make the right decisions to grow our economy to ensure that our young people and our brightest minds aren't forced to leave the state because they can't find a quality job. If elected, Natalie will:

Invest in our local economy and local start ups
Expand job training incentives and apprenticeship programs to reduce unemployment
Support and grow job-creating industries like film and renewable energy
Ensure that everyone is paid a fair wage for hard work
Require out of state corporations to pay their fair share of taxes and improve accountability for promised jobs. It's time we stop wasteful tax giveaways to companies that take taxpayer dollars then pick up and leave the state.
