Republican candidates can win in November if they prioritize important issues. Chief among them are supporting the freelance economy and opposing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
The GOP can appeal to disaffected independents and Democrats who feel voiceless without moderating their conservative beliefs. Here in Virginia, freelancers and their allies, alike, are making their voices heard by opposing bad bills.
If Republicans want to win, they should join the fight for freelancers now.
The Current Status of Freelancing in America
Freelancing is pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-free market— the very essence of conservatism.
Men and women who freelance better prioritize their family and business needs. Freedom and flexibility draw participants in. And we, self-described champions of liberty, can extol these values.
Despite the fears associated with “The Great Resignation”—a phenomenon described as mass resignation from the workforce— there is a silver lining: 10 million may soon enter the freelance economy.
Decentralization of the workplace is inevitable. And it shouldn’t be shunned. Therefore, Republicans must be on the frontlines opposing policies that undermine the gig economy.
