“McGinty supports a positive economic environment for workers and business owners, American job creation, fair pay, a fair minimum-wage, family-friendly workplaces, access to affordable/quality healthcare, tax policies that support a vibrant middle class and access to capital and federal contracts for women-owned firms,” continues Dorfman.
“Katie McGinty’s extensive leadership includes serving as: Legislative Assistant to Senator Al Gore, Deputy Assistant to President Bill Clinton; Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality; and head of Pennsylvania‘s Department of Environmental Protection,” adds Dorfman. “Katie is well prepared to promote economic growth and women’s economic priorities; she is committed to leveling the playing field for small businesses and workers by closing the unfair tax loopholes that incentivize sending jobs overseas and put small businesses at a disadvantage.”
“Growing the number of strong women leaders in Congress is critical to assuring that women’s economic priorities are advanced,” adds Dorfman. “American prosperity is directly linked to the economic success of women. Seventy percent of women work and seventy-two percent of mothers work.

Women own 304,000 Pennsylvania firms employing 320,000 workers,” continues Dorfman.
