The People’s Deal:
BUILD A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE
Access to healthcare is a human right. Healthcare must be dependable, available, and built step by step for the people.
STAND WITH FARMERS
Family farmers should be able to make a living without being squeezed out by consolidation.
FIX IMMIGRATION AND PROTECT WORKERS
America should have an immigration system that protects people, workers, and communities.
PUT POWER BACK WHERE IT BELONGS
Washington should work for We the People, not oligarchs and corporations.
EMPOWER WORKERS
Workers should have real power and strong protections in the workplace.
RESPECT TEACHERS, IMPROVE EDUCATION
Teachers should be supported, trusted, and treated like professionals.
END PRICE MANIPULATION
When you shop, you should expect one clear price with no “gotchas”.
RESTORE REAL OWNERSHIP
If you buy something, you should own it and be able to fix it.
SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Washington should help communities thrive and support local solutions.
PROTECT THE LAND AND SAFEGUARD THE FUTURE
Clean air, clean water, and safe land should be guaranteed for every community.
RESPONSIBLE FOREIGN POLICY, NOT MORE FOREVER WARS
American foreign policy should lead with the head and the heart, not the fist.
