Issue Position: Protecting the Middle Class and Growing Our Economy

Issue Position

Pennsylvania's minimum wage falls below that of all of our neighboring states. I believe all Pennsylvanians deserve a living wage and pathways to a more secure future. We need to increase our minimum wage, support our labor unions, bolster our infrastructure, encourage business development and make
Pennsylvania more attractive to new businesses (including green and renewable energy, new technology and modern manufacturing), stabilize and nurture distressed communities, provide our children with the tools to be to successful
in the ever-changing global economy, and provide struggling workers with= continuing education efforts so that they can take better advantage of today's economy and prepare themselves for inevitable changes to come.
