Growing Jobs and Supporting Local Businesses

A Strong Local Economy Starts With Us

Small businesses, family farms, and local workers are the backbone of WNC. Yet too often, state policies favor large corporations instead of the people who drive our local economy. Danny will fight for a fair playing field and the resources our communities need to grow.

The Problem

  • Corporate tax breaks don’t help small businesses.
  • Family farms face mounting pressures and rising costs.
  • Local workers need job opportunities that pay a living wage.
  • Rural areas struggle with outdated infrastructure.

Danny’s Plan

  • Support tax policies that benefit small businesses and family farms.
  • Invest in infrastructure that attracts and retains good jobs.
  • Strengthen rural broadband and utilities to support growth.
  • Promote job training for trades and local industries across WNC.

Why it matters

When small businesses succeed, it supports local jobs, strengthens families, and helps our communities grow. Danny’s approach builds an economy grounded in opportunity, fairness, and the kind of local strength that keeps Western North Carolina moving forward.
