Issue Position: What Federal Policies Do You Support to Help People Balance Work and Family Responsibilities?
Issue Position
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income
We must recognize the growing reality of single parent and dual earner families in the workforce. We should provide tax incentives for businesses that provide on-site child care. We should also support an increase in minimum wage. Right now, a family living on a single minimum wage salary cannot afford the local fair-market rent for a two bedroom apartment anywhere in the United States. I will work with Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi to ensure a livable minimum wage so that our workers will be able to spend time with their families, rather than having to work two jobs to pay for necessities.
