Issue Position: Jobs and Economy

Issue Position

Bob's principal focus upon re-election will be jobs and the economy. We need to get Rhode Islanders back to work. Rep. Craven was recently proud to announce the passage of his bill, which repealed a state labor law and allowed Quonset to receive $6 million in federal funds. Just three months later, the effects of that bill were realized when it was announced that hundreds of new jobs and multiple new businesses were coming to North Kingstown. Legislators must focus on job creation as well as retaining and investing in local talent and innovation. Too many Rhode Islanders are out of work while too much skilled talent is leaving the state. Rep. Craven will support legislation that creates jobs while incentivizes our state as an advantageous place to live and work.
