Environment / Energy Millions of Americans struggle to afford and access healthy food. We need to support local farms that use sustainable practices, helping to bring down food costs. Education Congress should set the interest rate on all federal student loans at zero. Let’s stop making higher education a lifelong burden. Environment / Energy It’s not radical to believe that everyone deserves access to affordable energy and clean water. We must invest in clean energy to lower utility bills, modernize our outdated grid, and expand desalination and water recycling to deal with droughts before they become crises. Housing The cost of homeownership has skyrocketed, and it’s crushing families. We need to build more homes that people can afford and fix the insurance market, especially in California. Wages / Job Benefits If you work full time in America, you shouldn’t live in poverty. More money in workers’ pockets means stronger families and stronger communities. Government Reform Special interests and big money have too much influence in our government. We need ethics reform, and it starts with banning stock trading in Congress – because this job is about public service, not a payday. Taxes / Budget The Social Security 2100 Act would allow for the system to remain strong through the next several decades by ensuring those at the very top pay their fair share of payroll taxes. Defense / Veterans Our veterans should have the best health care in the world – that means hiring more staff, fully modernizing facilities, and holding leadership accountable when service falls short. Legislation Artificial intelligence is expanding rapidly. We can encourage innovation, but also set guardrails to protect jobs, privacy, and national security. Healthcare Families shouldn’t go broke because you get sick. It’s why we must protect Medicaid and Medicare, and expand access.
