Great catching up with Hector Soto, a DoorDash driver from the Lehigh Valley, while he was in Washington.
Last year, I joined Hector for a DoorDash ridealong and later welcomed him to a roundtable discussion with independent workers from across our region. Hector's story highlights why so many people choose independent work — flexibility, opportunity, and the ability to earn extra income on their own schedule.
I'll continue working to support policies that protect worker flexibility, expand access to portable benefits, and create more opportunities.
