Grow Our Economy to Support the Middle Class

Dan lives in a union family, and as a small business owner, he knows that small businesses and working Americans are the backbone of our economy. He understands the importance of harnessing new, innovative technologies, such as how he developed AI-informed approaches to research and evaluated applications of blockchain technology in supply chain security. As a legislator, Dan has led the charge to invest in protecting workers, expand labor rights, and increase wages and benefits. 

... Dan will continue to fight to put more money into Virginians’ pockets while increasing the number of good job opportunities across the district and state and promoting economic stability. With our country facing profound challenges from climate change, a volatile international environment, fast moving technologies, and fewer ladders of opportunity to the middle class, industry partnership on tackling these goals and creating markets to do it remains essential. For example, Dan recognizes that we must invest in building policy frameworks that allow new, innovative technologies like digital assets and blockchain to continue to challenge the status quo and improve the financial and digital lives of Americans, while ensuring necessary protections are in place for consumers. If Congress doesn’t act on priorities such as this, Americans will see good jobs leave and head overseas.
