Lower Costs & Economic Justice
Putting Working Families First
For decades, working people have produced more wealth while billionaires take a bigger share. It is time to rebalance our economy so dignity, stability, and opportunity are within reach for everyone.
My Plan
- Raise the federal minimum wage to at least $17/hour and index it to inflation
- Pass the PRO Act to strengthen unions and collective bargaining
- Cancel significant student loan debt and make public college tuition-free
- Invest in universal childcare and pre-K and cap childcare costs
- Permanently expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit
If you work hard, you should be able to live with dignity—not just survive.
