Revitalizing our community begins with creating good jobs and promoting long term investment in our homes and businesses.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to raise a family in Northeast Philadelphia. With the alarming decrease in good labor jobs and staggering unemployment numbers we have to stimulate small and local businesses. Our policies have to be about insuring the security of the working and middle class. Far too often Harrisburg's economic policies have been centered towards helping the affluent and powerful. Over the course of my first term, I have promoted disabled persons becoming entrepreneurs and fought against tax breaks for multi-billion dollar natural gas companies and other elite corporations. We need more policies geared towards the creation and the advancement of family sustaining jobs.
