Issue Position: Jobs & The Economy

Issue Position

Growing up, if you got your education, worked hard and paid your dues, there was a clear pathway to success. Unfortunately, for so many people, because of rising healthcare costs, stagnant wages and rising wealth inequality that pathway has disappeared. But, it doesn't have to stay that way. We can and we should do better.

In the state legislature, I will fight to increase the minimum wage, so that no hard working Georgians will live in poverty. It's also time we pass a Georgia Earned Income Tax Credit to put more money back in the hands of working people, while also ensuring equal pay and access to affordable childcare. And I'll continue my efforts to expand access to tuition-free technical college, so that hard work can once again be the pathway to success.
