Providing Economic Opportunity

Good-paying jobs are essential to economic growth in the 13th District, Florida and our country. That is why, in addition to fighting for education, the foundation of economic opportunity, I will be a tireless advocate for bringing jobs to our district in a range of industries. In particular, I believe that the search for and implementation of alternative, renewable energy sources and other “green-collar” work will be not only a boon for our environment, but for our economy as well. I will champion the building of a Green Service Corps that will provide government funding to create good jobs in this sector and generate economic growth that will also benefit the environment.
