Issue Position

Too many people do not see Connecticut as a place of opportunity. I will work to change that by supporting job creation and training programs, especially in our community colleges and trade schools, which prepare students for well-paying jobs in industries where they are badly needed. I will support raising the minimum wage. I also believe that women and men should receive equal pay for equal work. I am committed to working to close the gender pay gap and addressing disparities that make the gap even larger for black and Latina women. Connecticut's 5th district is home to thousands of small businesses, and I am committed to working with them to help them grow.
