A More Affordable America

Build More Housing Where People Need It
Legalize apartments near transit, allow modular housing, and convert offices to apartments, cutting rents by increasing supply.

Cheaper Cleaner Energy

Accelerate permitting and investment in nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, and natural gas to bring down utility bills while keeping the lights on.

End the Trump Tariffs That Raise Prices
Repeal broad tariffs that function as hidden taxes on American families and businesses, while maintaining targeted national security restrictions on China where strategic supply chains are at risk.

Modernize U.S. Shipping and Infrastructure

Repeal the Jones Act so shipping between U.S. ports is cheaper & repeal the Foreign Dredge Act to lower infrastructure costs by letting American projects use the best global equipment.

Protect Social Security and Medicare
Guarantee that Social Security and Medicare are fully funded and off-limits to cuts, so seniors can retire with dignity and health security.

Cap Credit Card Interest Rates
Set a national maximum interest rate of 18% APR on credit cards to end exploitative lending.

Break Up Corporate Monopolies in Food
Take on meatpacking giants and fund regional processors so families pay less at the grocery store.

Right to Repair

Expand Access to Capital for Small Businesses
Grow support for community banks and CDFIs so local entrepreneurs can get the credit they need.

Fast-Track Homebuilding

Vacancy Tax for Empty Urban Storefronts
Apply a federal vacancy tax on long empty commercial properties in dense cities to reduce blight and bring back small business retail.

Simplify Tax Filing with IRS Direct File for All
Let every American file taxes directly with the IRS for free, without paying costly preparers.

Limit Presidential Power to Raise Tariffs
Require congressional approval within 60 days for any presidential tariff that exceeds 2%, preventing surprise tax hikes on consumers and manufacturers.

Federal Land Release for Housing

Allow by right residential development on surplus federal land near metros and transit, with long term ground leases to states and cities.

End the Carried Interest Loophole
Close the hedge fund tax break that costs billions and make Wall Street pay its fair share.

National Electricity Market Reform

Mandate interregional transmission planning and cost sharing across ISOs, with a single federal siting authority for major lines.

Zero Based Review of Federal Housing Rules

Sunset FHA, HUD, and environmental rules unless reauthorized with cost benefit analysis.

End the Litigation Doom Loop
Set firm time limits on court injunctions for federally approved infrastructure so clean energy projects can be built after full review, cutting delays, lowering costs, and delivering power faster.  

Rejoin the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
Re-enter the Pacific trade bloc to boost U.S. exports and lower consumer prices by setting common labor and environmental standards.
