There can be no mobility, no progress, without a highly skilled workforce, and a vibrant economy that can sustain full employment for all Marylanders. Hard work, an honest days work for a living wage -- these are the basic principles for which we must strive. That's why I am so proud to have been endorsed for the House of Delegates by the Washington DC Building and Construction Trades Council (AFL-CIO), representing 25,000 construction trade workers throughout the region. We can create good paying, secure jobs by growing and diversifying our economy, and reinvesting in skills training -- like apprenticeship programs, and hands-on internships -- to prepare our workforce for the challenges that they face in the new global economy.
