Issue Position: Kentucky Jobs and Innovation

Issue Position

We need more investment into home-grown Kentucky businesses and agriculture. Education and economic development help our skilled workers and entrepreneurs to stay in Kentucky. I will create investment opportunities for Kentucky's workers and business owners, rather than giving out-of-state companies tax breaks and incentives to offer only low-wage jobs. Trickle-down economic theory is exactly that: a trickle. Instead of hoping for a trickle of rain to fall, we can make sure people have the necessary tools to build irrigation systems that maintain a steady flow -- in other words, effective programs that invest at the ground level instead of at the top.
