One of the biggest challenges facing our country is affordability. Families are struggling with the rising costs of housing, child care, health care, and groceries. We need policies that lower costs, increase affordable housing, reduce prescription drug prices, and support good-paying jobs through investments in manufacturing, infrastructure, and workforce development.
Another major challenge is restoring trust in government and tackling corruption. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries tasked me with leading the House Democrats’ anti-corruption agenda, including banning stock trading by members of Congress and the President, imposing Supreme Court term limits, ending presidential immunity, and strengthening transparency and accountability across government.
Finally, we must protect access to health care by defending Medicaid from Donald Trump’s cuts that would hurt working families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, while continuing to lower health care costs.
The federal government has a responsibility to ensure our elections are transparent, fair, and accountable to the American people. Voters deserve to know who is spending money to influence elections, and our political system should not be dominated by dark money and unlimited outside spending.
I am leading the efforts to overturn Citizens United, strengthen financial disclosure requirements, and increase transparency so voters can see who is trying to influence campaigns and elections. Dark money has eroded public trust in government and allowed powerful special interests to exert outsized influence over our political system.
As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, which oversees federal election law, I believe Congress has a responsibility to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure every American’s voice carries weight, not just those with the most money.
The Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais has major implications for voting rights and fair representation. Every voter deserves equal representation, and communities should not have their political power weakened through unfair redistricting practices.
As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I remain focused on protecting voting rights and strengthening confidence in our elections. If Democrats retake the House majority, one of my top priorities will be passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and strengthen protections against discriminatory voting laws and practices.
The federal government must take climate change seriously because its impacts are already being felt by families and communities across the country. Extreme weather, flooding, rising temperatures, and poor air quality threaten public health, damage homes and infrastructure, and disproportionately affect low-income communities and communities of color that often have fewer resources to recover from these disasters.
We should continue investing in clean energy, modern infrastructure, energy efficiency, and technologies that reduce emissions while strengthening resiliency against climate-related threats. That includes upgrading water systems, protecting critical infrastructure, and helping local communities prepare for and respond to severe weather events.
Climate policy should also create economic opportunity through innovation, workforce development, and good-paying jobs while ensuring no community is left behind in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
The United States has an important role to play in supporting international stability, strengthening alliances, and defending democratic values around the world. Institutions like NATO are critical to collective security and help deter aggression, protect our allies, and maintain global stability.
The United States should continue engaging with international institutions in ways that support human rights, uphold international law, and promote diplomacy and cooperation with our allies. Strong alliances help address global challenges including armed conflict, humanitarian crises, climate change, and threats to democracy. We must continue supporting institutions that promote peace and accountability, and defend the fundamental rights and freedoms that are too often under threat around the world.
