Doug Ward (L)
The people of District 42 deserve an economic plan that focuses on improving their lives, not just using their labor to increase the local tax base. The current leadership seems to think the best we can hope for is increasing service industry jobs. With improvements to the local infrastructure and the promotion of existing free training in I.T. skills, we can do better. I want to bring great paying I.T. jobs to the community. The increase in income coming into the District will help local businesses as well. We need to focus on what is good for the people and stop worrying about what is good for companies like Alfa
The motto of this state is "We dare defend our rights". I plan to live by that motto. Our constitutional rights have been under attack for a long time. I am none negotiable on those rights.
Doug Ward (L)
