jobs & economy

Mainers are hardworking and resilient.  I believe that expanding access to robust workforce training is essential to give people the opportunity to gain the skills they need to secure good-paying jobs and forge promising new career paths.   In addition, throughout my Senate service, I have championed policies that support small businesses, the job-creating engines that power our economy.  I have also authored and supported legislation to provide tax relief for families and job creators, cut bureaucratic red tape, and promote fair trade policies that allow Maine workers and business to compete on a level playing field in the 21st century economy.
