Issue Position: Job Creation

Issue Position

As the daughter of small business owners who emigrated to this country to build a better life, Nicole has witnessed first-hand the challenges associated with starting a business in New York City. In the State Assembly, Nicole has earned a reputation as an ardent opponent of burdensome regulations, red tape and taxes that make it difficult for businesses to survive and thrive in our communities. A strong supporter of the job-creating power of President Trump's tax cuts, Nicole also believes in investing more resources in vocational training opportunities, so that those who choose not to attend college can obtain a life skill, earn higher wages and build a career in which they can support themselves and their families.

While Rep. Max Rose joined a partisan effort to undermine President Trump's United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, Nicole led the effort in the State Assembly to build public support for the USMCA which will benefit American businesses, workers and consumers. In 2018, New York sent over $17 billion in exports to Canada and Mexico and the USMCA will increase economic activity and job creation in the shipping and container port industry on Staten Island and in South Brooklyn.
