Evan Hutchison

Healthcare Medicaid for All Housing Evan will push for the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act, a bill introduced in Congress that would ban hedge fund giants from purchasing up single-family homes and condos, a potentially landmark change that would rebalance the housing market. Taxes / Budget He wants to restore high inheritance tax rates for outsized fortunes and implement tax rates that represent and recognize all of the public and natural resources consumed in building the fortunes of billionaires. That money is desperately needed for healthcare, environmental remediation, education, and green infrastructure. Economy Access to equitable and fair credit is crucial for any family or individual. Evan proposes a multi-trillion dollar debt fund for Americans to consolidate their underwater mortgages, collections debt, high-interest student loans, and other onerous obligations at an interest rate below the Fed rate. We bailed out Wall Street in 2008 with massive loans at 0% interest rates, why can’t we bail out individuals and families? Abortion / Contraception Evan will fight to keep the issue of abortion access and reproductive rights front and center in Congress by calling for direct aid (including cash cards to facilitate access to care in the Free States and money for legal representation) to women in the Red States who are barred from access. Foreign Policy an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Palestine and Israel Civil Rights Evan believes we need to acknowledge where the Federal government has been active and complicit in perpetuating racism. An easy place to start is to hold hearings on the legacy and continuation of the discriminatory mortgage lending practice known as “redlining.” Housing Evan will aggressively pursue solutions at the federal level to the high cost of rental housing and lowering homeownership rates in New York City neighborhoods by taking on hugely powerful Wall Street firms. Number one on his agenda is enforcing existing rent stabilization laws and bringing transparency to the real estate market by creating a breakthrough, publicly available database of rent-stabilized units. Housing Evan will support the creation and federal funding of a Social Housing Development Authority to build low- and middle-income housing. He supports an immediate expansion of the Section 8 program and an extension of the deadline to find housing to 6 months.
