Issue Position

As a small business owner I know that it's time to make critical investments in our workforce, local infrastructure and transportation system. I believe that government can be a partner in building our economy.

We need to make sure we are expanding access for worker retraining by utilizing our institutions of higher learning. I will prioritize making tuition more affordable and work to increase the number of enrollment slots so local kids can get the degrees they need as they move into the workforce.

Investments in our local transportation system is a must. Local businesses, big and small have demanded we take action. We need to reduce gridlock and invest in transit to help ease congestion along our major commuter corridors, while also protecting our environment. Businesses are losing thousands of dollars a day when our highways are clogged and we can no longer kick the can down the road.
