Plan for Change
Too often the system works for big corporations and monopolies, while families, small businesses, and local communities are left with higher bills and fewer choices. This campaign is about drawing a clear line to stand up to these companies, lowering costs for people who do the work, and making smart investments into our future.
To fix this broken system, bold decisions must be made. That means saying no to powerful conglomerates when they are directly harming the communities where we live, and yes to policies that put hard-working people first. It means holding utility companies accountable when costs skyrocket, it means regulating existing Data Centers, and easing the tax burden on small businesses that lay the foundation of our economy. It means facing the housing crisis head-on, creating jobs to rebuild our infrastructure, and making sure no child has to learn on an empty stomach. These are not partisan issues; they are practical ones. And they are long overdue.
