Growth Economy
A strong, reliable economy helps create jobs. Jobs create opportunity for our families.
Christina Sappey believes we need to develop our business climate responsibly and ensure that Pennsylvania is an attractive place to start and grow businesses that create family-sustaining jobs. She will work to pass on-time state budgets that fund programs and support small and mid-sized businesses.
By 2025, over 75% of the workforce will be millennials. Pennsylvania needs to focus on training and retaining emerging talent now to ensure that the next generation decides to stay, work, and raise a family here.
Pennsylvania has a rich history, and although pockets of our state are benefiting from higher-paying jobs, we must ensure these opportunities are state-wide. State-wide economic growth is necessary to stop income inequality and fund programs that we value, like public education initiatives or residential recycling. Fiscal responsibility builds a sustainable economy and an effective state budget.
