Jobs

Not everyone who wants a job can find one. This must change, because more job opportunities leads to stability and careers. My Jobs for Everyone legislation will include:

No federal tax on new small businesses for the first two years - new small businesses and self-employed startups pay zero federal income tax in their first 24 months — letting entrepreneurs invest in hiring, equipment, and growth.

Cut payroll taxes for first-time hires for new small businesses - first-time hires at small businesses have their federal payroll taxes cut for two years, directly reducing the cost of adding employees.

Made in CA37 - any company that claims new federal tax breaks must also certify that jobs created are in their district. This will be done through a pilot district program. Funding for administration and enforcement comes from a small portion of the federal incentive budget already allocated for job creation programs, meaning this program is self-sustaining without raising taxes.

Accelerate local education and training - support community colleges and trade schools to expand programs in much-needed healthcare, green energy, nursing, and other skilled trades relevant to our district by giving families federal tax credits for tuition and certification costs - funded by redirecting unused federal workforce training dollars that Congress has already allocated.
