Issue Position: Jobs Creation & the Economy

Issue Position

The American dream is still attainable, but it has changed, thanks to globalization and rapidly changing technology, and we must keep up with the pace of this change by offering New Yorkers more skills, more jobs, and more wages.

As former Nassau County Executive, I have a track record of creating and retaining thousands of jobs, and spurring economic development by bringing tech, sports and entertainment, tourism, and infrastructure jobs and projects to Nassau County.

As your Congressman, I will continue to fight for more skills, more jobs, and more wages for our communities. I will start a skills revolution so our workers have the training and knowledge needed to compete in today's complex global economy. I will fight to support middle class working families here on Long Island and Queens who need higher paying jobs and better work opportunities so they can earn enough money to afford to live here. I will fight to get the federal funding back to our district for much-needed infrastructure projects to enhance our roads, bridges, and public transit systems, and create clean energy jobs for workers installing solar panels, manufacturing wind turbines, and building battery operated cars. Lastly, I will fight to prepare our youth to work in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields, to combat the tide of jobs outsourcing overseas, and ensure our future prosperity.
