Issue Position: Creating Good Jobs from Cities to Small Towns

Issue Position

As a small business owner, Dan has helped put hundreds of North Carolinians to work building solar farms in rural North Carolina. He was a leader in making our state second in the US for solar power. In Congress, he'll use his business experience to work with both parties to lift wages and increase opportunity. That means working across the aisle to bring good-paying jobs in growing sectors like clean energy and smart infrastructure.

Dan will fight for North Carolina community colleges and job training programs to receive our district's fair share of federal funding. Too many workers in North Carolina need jobs, but too many companies can't find the workers they need. Dan will work to open up new pathways to opportunity that go beyond four-year college and rethink education so people can learn the technical and trade skills for the good-paying middle-class jobs of today and tomorrow.

Dan will fight for rural jobs. The main streets of North Carolina's towns used to be filled with cars, but now far too many parking spaces are empty. Trade deals have benefited the rich and powerful but devastated North Carolina families. Dan will fight to protect our local communities from the adverse effects of trade, and he will personally recruit CEOs to move their companies to rural North Carolina.
