Issue Position: Jobs and The Economy

Without jobs and a strong economy, our state will fail. As I've said before, I believe that the first step to creating a strong economy is a strong workforce, which comes from a great education. But well-trained and educated workers are only one component of creating jobs and growing a strong economy. Alabama's economy must work for our business owners and our workers so everyone has an opportunity to succeed.

Repair and develop our state's infrastructure, which will create jobs and stimulate industry.

Create workforce development programs to train workers for skilled labor positions in the community.

Hold businesses that receive tax subsidies accountable for creating the jobs they promise.

Give Alabama businesses preference for state and local government contracts.
