CAL CUNNINGHAM RELEASES FIRST PIECE OF PLAN TO
CREATE JOBS AND RESTORE INNOVATION TO OUR ECONOMY
First major policy release of U.S. Senate campaign focuses on Investing in American Competitiveness through Education; includes Voices of North Carolina web video
Cal Cunningham became the first U.S. Senate candidate in North Carolina to roll out a major piece of policy by announcing the first in his series of proposals to Create Jobs and Restore Innovation to Our Economy. Cunningham's first proposal, entitled "Investing in American Competitiveness Through Education," focuses on creating and saving teaching jobs, finding new and creative ways to tie education directly to the job market and preparing our children for the new global economy.
"As I've traveled across North Carolina, the main concern being voiced is about the lack of good jobs in our state," said Cunningham. "I strongly believe that innovation and preparing our workforce to compete globally begins by supporting education in America."
"It's especially important that we focus on finding creative solutions that don't increase overall spending or add to our deficit. I've made certain that my plan focuses on finding cost savings and relies on eliminating waste to fund programs that produce immediate and sustained economic growth," Cunningham said.
Investing in American Competitiveness focuses on seven major areas:
Job Creation
Job Training
Higher Education
School Modernization
Early Education
K-12 Education
Education for All
The Voices of North Carolina, a web-based video series that accompanies Cunningham's plan, highlights real North Carolinians who are representative of the stories of hard work, challenges and perseverance he has heard across the state. The first in the series focuses on Lydia Mack, a reading specialist from Welcome, North Carolina.
