Every time I'm on a job site, I see the same problem: not enough hands.
Our economy is short more than 300,000 tradespeople this year alone. Carpenters, electricians, welders, these careers are AI proof. Every apprentice we train is a house that gets built faster and an American employed. I'll fight to put federal apprenticeship dollars where they actually build something.
I've spent my career building things. I know what it takes to bring someone up in this trade, and I know Washington isn't doing its part.
If you know a young person weighing their options after high school, share this. A tool belt is a real path to a good life. 🛠️
