Mike has been working to bring good high-paying jobs to the region. Partnering with our local colleges and universities, Mike is finding ways to grow our economy and create high quality jobs across the Peninsula. Mike believes investing in local small businesses so they can create jobs and help our area thrive and grow is critical. Mike voted to support expanding Worker Retraining tax credits that will help small businesses create the most ready and trained workforce. Mike also voted to waive tax penalties on small businesses in their first two years when they are starting up.

Women make up almost half of the workforce, so fighting to ensure equal pay for equal work becomes a reality in Virginia is a goal of Mike's.

Mike has received endorsements from the KML Carpenters, the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, the Virginia AFL-CIO, Virginia Professional Firefighters Association.
