Protect and Expand Social Security

Millions of Americans rely on Social Security to keep them from slipping into poverty. I will stand up for this critical program and the Americans it supports. This means keeping it out of the hands of Wall Street, protecting benefits from garnishment as a result of student loan debt, and expanding existing benefits to keep up with the cost of living.

Tax the Billionaires

A billionaire could spend $10,000 every day for 273 years and still not run out of money. We need to comprehensively reform the tax system so it benefits working people and ensures the top 1%, Wall Street, and large corporations pay their fair share.

Support Affordable Public College and Trade School

High tuition costs have put college and trade schools out of reach for too many Utahn’s and millions of Americans are saddled with a lifetime of student loan debt. I support capping tuition, banning predatory student loans, and increasing public funding for higher education so everyone has a path to a degree and end the equity gap in higher education.

Ensuring Affordable Housing and Protecting Renters and Homeowners

We must take action to provide stable, affordable housing to everyone. I will fight to pass legislation to curb rent increases through the Place to Prosper Act, stop unjust evictions, and provide protection and mortgage relief for homeowners.

Secure a Living Wage

No one who works full time should live in poverty. Today’s full-time minimum wage employee with a family of three earns significantly below the federal poverty line. That is unacceptable. I support raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to at least $15 an hour while tying minimum wage to inflation.

Enact Medicare for All

The ACA expanded coverage and access to affordable, quality health care for millions of Americans. At the same time, millions more of our fellow citizens remain uninsured and now MAGA Republicans are fighting to raise premiums for those at the edge of losing coverage and care. Health care is a human right and passing Medicare for All will ensure that greedy pharmaceutical and health insurance companies can’t put their profits above your health.
