Issue Position: Jobs

Issue Position

My dad use to say, give a person a job and it solves most problems or as President Clinton stated, "it's the economy, stupid." Either way you slice it, a middle class income will drive the economy. For too long, Lorain County has seen a flight of manufacturing jobs that once defined our region. It is time to focus on the jobs of the future that take advantage of our major resources such as the lake shore, extensive highway and rail system and an educated workforce to harness the jobs of tomorrow. Both ownership and labor have a stake in the outcome and should both have a say in the terms of their employment. Jobs are created by entrepreneurs meeting demand but a well trained and compensated labor force is required for both sides to find success. I will support legislation that grows a vibrant middle class while rewarding all stakeholders who invest in Lorain County.
