A Strong Economy relies on fairness and inclusion. And if we follow this, we will do three things. Create more jobs and deliver stronger education and build an economy that works for everyone.

Weve taken some important steps, but can do even more. Just as ive prohibited my appointees from lobbying the legislature or the administration after leavin
