I am committed to working across party lines to bring quality jobs to the Central Coast byinvesting in infrastructure, encouraging clean energy development, and embracing new technology. In addition, I believe that the best way to support our businesses and workers is to ensure there is pay equity as well as an increase in wages to meet the standards of living for all Americans. I have been a staunch supporter of raising the minimum wage and ensuring paycheck fairness. As the decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) moves forward, I am focused on efforts to create renewable energy incentives and job retraining programs that will help offset the loss of jobs and revenue on the Central Coast. I have introduced the Energy Opportunity Zones Act to create energy opportunity zones for the renewable energy industry in regions impacted by nuclear power plant closures. The legislation extends tax credits as well as introduce a new tax credit to encourage renewable energy business development in San Luis Obispo County. I will continue fighting to create more economic opportunities, as well as support our workforce throughout the Central Coast. I am committed to making sure that every opportunity is rewarded to those who are willing to put in the hard work.
