Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

I remember when I landed my very first job at Beef-A-Roo making $5.15/hr! Obviously things have changed, and so has the cost of living. That is why I desire to raise the Illinois minimum wage.

I've worked extensively in developing our workforce, I would like to confidently work on providing more jobs for the 67th district. I will advocate for tax incentives that brings corporations to Illinois and to Rockford. I will also host job fairs IN THE 67th DISTRICT.
​
At these job fairs, I will have the Unions/Trades in attendance who are offering apprenticeship opportunities. Apprenticeships pave the way for LICENSURE and CERTIFICATIONS that will prepare my constituents to become more marketable for the workforce.
