The Economy

Freddie understands the challenges that working families and small businesses face every day and the lack of support they are RECEIVING form the city. In the face of increased living costs and high energy prices, he knows that reliable, good-paying jobs are the result of a business friendly economy.

In Pomona, Freddie will defended vital jobs and work every day to bring new opportunities to the City and its residents. He has also secured millions of dollars in funding to promote workforce development in the region and will continue to expand programs that help get people jobs.

In Pomona, Freddie's priorities on the economy are:

• Cut red tape at City Hall that will help small businesses and workers succeed

• Bringing quality jobs with retirement and healthcare benefits to the City

• Developing resources and incentives for current businesses and for those looking to responsibly do business in the City

• Increasing job training, apprenticeships, and career support programs

• Help low income families purchase their own homes
