Issue Position: Economic Justice

Issue Position

I support policies to promote jobs and a fair economy. Among these are tax and investment policies that lower the tax burden on low and moderate-income people while demanding that corporations and wealthy individuals pay their fair share. I have chief authored bills to close corporate tax loopholes and strongly support efforts to increase paid sick time and family medical leave.

I am an advocate of an increasing the minimum wage and investments in affordable housing. I will continue to fight unfair lending practices, such as triple digit interest rates on payday loans. I oppose efforts to roll back collective bargaining and worker's rights.
