Policy Priorities

Pass legislation to lower income and administrative eligibility requirements, opening up vital coverage to thousands of working families and low-income adults.
Implement strict state oversight and transparent rate-review processes to crack down on unjustified premium hikes and ensure insurance companies prioritize patient care.
Create a dedicated state subsidy fund to bridge the financial gap left by expired federal ACA subsidies and keep marketplace plans affordable.

AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE

Modernize the state funding formula to direct substantial investments toward schools serving high concentrations of children living in poverty.
Enact safeguards to ensure that 100% of public education tax dollars go to public schools, opposing voucher schemes that drain community resources.

Fight for mandatory safe storage legislation that requires firearms to be securely locked away, with specific protections and penalties involving children.
Close remaining legal loopholes by requiring comprehensive background checks on all firearm purchases, including private transfers and gun shows.
Establish Extreme Risk Protection Orders to allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals demonstrating clear warning signs of danger.

Pass legislation to ban monopoly utility providers from raising rates to pad profits, tightening oversight to protect families from sudden rate spikes.
Crack down on predatory corporate landlords and rent-gouging algorithms, increasing taxes on mass-purchased properties to prevent families from being priced out.
Mandate strict resource-efficiency standards for data centers, ensuring corporations pay for infrastructure upgrades rather than straining community water and power resources.
