Issue Position: Jobs & Working Families

Issue Position

To create jobs and compete with the world, we must invest in infrastructure and education. Oregon can lead in the 21st century economy, but employers need workers with the right skills. We must create pathways for underrepresented young people to learn critical skills through summer jobs, internships, and apprenticeships that connect to career and college. Meanwhile, we must support working families and small businesses with universal health care, paid family leave, and child care assistance. I am proud to have led coalitions to raise Oregon's minimum wage.
