Support legal visas for certain jobs when domestic workers are unavailable

Lloyd Smucker supports the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act, which would create a legal visa pathway for businesses seeking workers for certain positions that do not require college degrees. The pathway is intended for cases where an adequate domestic workforce is unavailable.

Context: The passage does not specify the visa terms, number of workers, or whether the proposal has been enacted. The election guide draws these positions from congressional-office material. It does not establish a returned campaign questionnaire or a newly made campaign promise. Original event dates remain unverified.
