Issue Position: Expanding the Middle Class

Issue Position

As you know, I like to attend as many events in the Capital Region as I can. I believe talking to as many New Yorkers in communities across the region I represent gives me the tools I need to represent the area to the best of my ability. From year to year, the top concern I hear from people I talk to remains the same: jobs and the economy.

Since the Great Recession, we have steadily added jobs, but we can do better. Republicans and Democrats in Washington must come together to work with private sector businesses to create quality American jobs. I support policies that re-shore manufacturing jobs, invest in infrastructure, and provide incentives to small businesses that encourage growth and expansion.

The opportunity to work hard, raise a family and save for retirement has slipped out of reach for far too many Americans. We must enact policies that allow those that work for a living the tools they require to ensure the next generation has as much promise and potential as possible.
