  "textContent": "I stand firmly on the side of workers. As a representative, my priorities will focus on policies that protect workers, support local businesses, and grow opportunities across our community.\n\n  * **Ensuring fair wages** – Workers deserve compensation that reflects their effort and skill.\n  * **Maintaining safe working conditions** – Safety should never be optional, from the oil patch to healthcare to small businesses, every worker should have their voice heard.\n  * **Investing in workforce development** – Workforce training, apprenticeships, and upskilling programs create lasting opportunities.\n  * **Supporting families and benefits** – Policies should help families thrive, not just get by.\n\n\n\nWith North Dakota’s strong budget reserves, there is no excuse for leaving workers behind. By prioritizing investments, we can strengthen our communities and support local businesses to ensure economic security for every worker.\n\nDonate\n\n## Sign up for Michael Steele for ND\n\nBuilding Stronger Communities in District 23\n\nJoin Today\n\nEmail sent!
