Jobs and the economy

I work each day with people struggling to survive amid our current economy. Colorado’s working families need a strong, functional government today more than ever.

People need us to balance the budget, create jobs, support local businesses and begin to invest in our futures- all without compromise at the expense of hardworking Coloradans and kids.

I will work to:

• Promote new job creation and to attract new Green Economy businesses who focus on employing Coloradans to expand in Colorado;
• Address the housing and healthcare crisis confronting many Coloradans;
• Promote workers’ rights and strengthen workers’ protections; and
• Expand vocational programs for students and adults who need new skills or training to be competitive in today’s job market.
