The economic recovery from the Great Recession has yet to reach many Californians, that's why Jimmy supports investments in infrastructure, training, and education to create job opportunities in new industries like green energy, technology, entertainment and biotechnology available to all Californians. Jobs created must also pay a livable wage. In the Assembly, Jimmy sponsored legislation to help small businesses retrofit existing facilities to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and will take that approach to Washington to expand resources to help small businesses succeed and to invest in the infrastructure, education and transportation resources to expand opportunities for all Californians. As a former labor organizer, Jimmy supported the $15 California minimum wage and is committed to raising the national minimum wage, and securing worker protections under attack by the Trump Administration.
