John James on Jobs

 

 


Opposes raising federal minimum wage to $15/hr

Q: Minimum Wage: Raise federal minimum wage from $7.25/hr?

John James (R): Critical of increasing to $15/hr, but unclear if he'd support a smaller increase.

Debbie Stabenow (D): Has supported raising, but no statement on current proposal to raise to $15/hr.

Incumbent does not do enough to create or protect jobs

[After his primary victory], James told Stabenow to get ready "for the fight of your political life."

"Michigan needs a combat veteran and job creator in the U.S. Senate. I don't have a black message. I don't have a white message," said James, who is African American and who criticized Stabenow for not doing enough to create or protect jobs. "I have a Michigan message.... Washington has enough career politicians."
