ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

A person without children needs to make at least $16.72/hour to afford living in Gwinnett yet Georgia's minimum wage has not changed from $7.25. Additionally, lack of public services like public transportation and childcare, along with inadequate workforce development programs, have created a chasm for many when it comes to economic opportunity.

  • Advocate for more worker protections

  • Increase apprenticeship programs

  • Raise the minimum wage

  • Invest in infrastructure, including public transit

  • Empower small businesses to thrive

  • Provide childcare support

I believe that we must provide everyone with the best opportunity possible to succeed and thrive.
