Issue Position: Job Creation

Issue Position

Reliable and robust communities are built from the middle class out. Too many of our friends and neighbors of all ages are relying on minimum and low wage jobs to provide for their families. We need to do better.

Politicians tend to talk a good game on job creation, but many have never met a payroll. I have spent more than 24 years creating family wage jobs in the Spokane area through my film company North by Northwest Productions.

It wasn't easy starting a company and growing a new industry. However, what many considered to be challenges, my partners and I saw as advantages. We continue to compete with cities throughout the world to win projects that bring millions of dollars that not only stay here, but multiply many times throughout our area.

Government needs to help, not hurt the small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. We must do everything we can to make sure that business can grow and expand here.

My opponent has none of these experiences.
