Issue Position: Strengthening Our Economy​

Issue Position

Growing our economy requires investing in our current and future workforce through appropriate education, supporting small businesses, and recruiting new companies. When it comes to innovation and research, North Carolina is a leader in the South. We need to build on this rich history by preparing our citizens for good paying, highly-skilled jobs of the future. I know from my 7 years on the Cary Town Council that businesses considering relocation put "quality of life' high on their checklist: excellent schools, diverse housing options, sufficient infrastructure (including roads and other forms of transportation), and amenities like sports venues, leisure activities and the arts. These are important to new residents just as they are to those of us who already live here. Quality education, attractive communities and infrastructure investments drive new businesses to our state.
