I have been a champion for labor my entire career as a union carpenter and in my tenure in the legislature. I have fought hard for worker protections and fair compensation, including:

• Ensuring agricultural workers are treated equally under the law for overtime and workplace safety,

• Raising the minimum wage,

• Paid sick time for workers, enhancing workers compensation laws to benefit workers,

• Strengthening prevailing wages,

• Community benefit agreements, and

• Expanding apprenticeships and diversity requirement
