Issue Position: Job Creation

Issue Position

Small businesses are the backbone of our community, employing many of our friends, family and neighbors throughout District 12. Many of these businesses struggle daily as they navigate the regulatory bureaucracy and strive for success in a competitive marketplace. Maryland must continue to commit to helping small businesses gain access to needed financial resources; resources which will provide capital and opportunity for business development. To be successful, businesses need qualified employees with the latest skills. I will advocate for funding workforce training collaboration between businesses, local governments, community colleges and non-profits to train and prepare workers -- such as our returning veterans -- for the jobs that are truly needed in the private sector.
