Erin Dibenedetto for state Rep. what Erin is up to now !

Jobs and Income Equality

Good Jobs in Our Community.

Good jobs help make great communities. If elected to the legislature, job creation will be Erin’s top priority; Erin knows we need well-paying jobs that allow families to thrive and our neighborhoods to prosper.

Creating jobs will be her primary focus and the driving force behind every vote she takes in the House. People are rightly concerned about income inequality in our state, and the difficulty in finding jobs that provide a good living. Erin DiBenedetto will take on the fight for income equality on day one in the State House.

This will require working with leaders from every part of the state and building coalitions in and outside the legislature.

Erin is the candidate in this race with the proven experience of bringing people together to make change. She has relationships inside and outside the State House already established. She’s ready to deliver for the people of Medford and Somerville on Day One.

In Medford, Erin led the fight on the School Committee to build new science labs at Medford High School and Medford Vocational Technical High School. Ensuring that our students have access to a first-class, 21st century science curriculum has been a priority for Erin, because she knows that preparing students for the evolving job market enhances their future – and the competitiveness of the Commonwealth as a whole.

The science lab plan in Medford includes eight new labs, nine renovated labs, shared universal lab space that can accommodate a variety of science classes, science-related technology, as well as physical improvements such as new roofing and windows. There will be 17 brand new state of the art facilities in place for the core science curriculum - and new and exciting offerings such as bio-technology, engineering and robotics.

• A Living Wage - Erin is proud to support the Raise Up Coalition and legislation that would require workers to be provided with reasonable earned sick time/paid sick leave and an increase of the minimum wage to at least $15 and hour with a direct index to inflation.

• Strengthening Our Unions - As the proud wife of a union carpenter, Erin recognizes the value of unions and will work to protect and enhance collective bargaining rights.

• Equal Pay for Equal Work - Erin will fight to ensure equal pay for women becomes a reality in the Commonwealth as a fundamental right and an economic necessity to grow our economy.

• Training for the Future - Erin is committed to increasing funding for job training and vocational education in our schools to better prepare workers for a 21st Century economy.
