01// The Plan
The Problem — and the Fix
Wages have stalled while costs keep climbing. Our plan pairs immediate relief — earned-income credits and small-business grants — with long-term engines: apprenticeships, regional manufacturing, and rural broadband that lets anyone work from anywhere.
What's Included
- Access to Education & Skills Training in all 40 counties
- Entrepreneurship & Innovation grants up to $25,000 for first-time founders
- Employment Opportunities via a state apprenticeship guarantee
- A $15 minimum wage indexed to the cost of living
How We Get There
Year OneLaunch the apprenticeship guarantee and small-business grant fund.
Year TwoOpen six regional manufacturing hubs with community-college partners.
Year ThreeFinish rural broadband buildout and publish a public jobs dashboard.
