1) Median U.S. wages have barely kept pace with inflation over the past half-century, despite a doubling of real GDP per capita over the same period. This means that working Americans are not benefiting from American prosperity. When elected, I will work to put an end to the 40-year-long attack on working families through the implementation of more equitable tax policies and worker protections.
2) Trust in government is near an all-time low, and Americans are demanding anti-corruption reforms. When elected, I will champion legislation that reins in the influence of money and lobbyists and increases accountability, oversight, and transparency of Congress.
