Deedra Abboud: Affirmative action in government, but not private companies

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Legally require hiring more women/minorities"?

A: Oppose. Legally requiring private companies to hire anyone would be government overreach and against freedom; however, the government could legally make such a requirement for government jobs. Quotas create more problems though--unqualified being hired or just the perception of it.

Deedra Abboud: Supports measures to increase federal minimum wage

Arizona families pride themselves in being hard workers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. But when the scales are tipped for the most wealthiest, our economy suffers. The federal government is failing to move forward with policies that can improve conditions for working families. She strongly supports measures to increase the federal minimum wage, ensure equal pay and paid sick days, expand paid family and medical leave, support small businesses, and create jobs.
