Jobs in the District
Too many people in District 31 have to leave the district every day just to make a decent living. That’s dumb.
We should be creating more good jobs right here in Paulding and Polk so people can work closer to home, spend more time with their families, and invest more of their money back into the communities they actually live in.
I want to focus on the kinds of jobs that make sense here, and that can actually grow here: healthcare, solar, clean energy, skilled trades, logistics, and advanced manufacturing. And I’m not talking about vague politician nonsense where somebody cuts a ribbon, takes a picture, and disappears. I’m talking about building real pipelines through technical schools, colleges, and workforce training so people in this district can get trained, get hired, and even launch solar and clean-energy businesses of their own.
We have the people. We have the work ethic. We have the room to grow.
What we need is leadership that wants to build a real future instead of just showing up after somebody else already did. Jason Anavitarte seems pretty comfortable clapping for job announcements. I’m more interested in making sure those jobs keep coming, that local people are trained to fill them, and that we stop acting like our best economic plan is sending everybody somewhere else to work.
I want District 31 to be a place where you can build a life and a career without spending half of it in traffic.
