The Issue Is America

Restoring Democracy and Rebuilding AmericaFor All

Americans of every generation fought and died for a country defined by the principle that all people are created equal and dedicated to a government of the people, by the people and for the people. That America is under attack by a lawless president and a corrupt establishment. The result is a government of money, by money and for money. Our task now is to restore democracy and build a government that works for all.

Restoring Democracy

Supreme Court Reform

A Supreme Court captured by extremists has thrown out all pretense of restraint. The result is a government of money, by money and for money.

  • Court expansion from nine to thirteen, to match the number of federal circuits
  • Legislation to narrow Supreme Court jurisdiction and pursue other avenues of reform
  • Appointing an accountability-oriented attorney general to investigate Supreme Court corruption and law-breaking

Restoring the Rule of Law

No official or citizen at any level will be above the law.

  • Accountability for Trump administration lawlessness
  • Prosecution for campaign contributions that were in fact corrupt influence-buying

Taking Money Out of Politics

Our democracy cannot function when political power is for sale.

  • A multi-tiered approach combining transparency legislation and a constitutional amendment to repeal Citizens United

Rebuilding America

While reining in the court and restoring democracy, I will lead a bipartisan coalition to enact measures desired by a wide majority of the American people across both parties to build an America that works for all.

Health Care For All

Universal health care for every American.

  • Guarantee health coverage for every American regardless of income, employment, or geography
  • Lower prescription drug costs and bring real price transparency to the system
  • Protect and expand reproductive rights as a core component of health care

Housing For All

Policies aimed at increasing housing affordability across the country.

  • Aggressively expand housing supply in places where Americans actually want to live
  • Crack down on speculation and corporate consolidation in single-family housing
  • Protect renters and first-time homebuyers from predatory practices

Prosperity For All — Green New Deal

An ambitious Green New Deal to rebuild American infrastructure, create good jobs, and meet the climate crisis.

  • Massive investment in clean energy, public transit, and resilient infrastructure
  • Good union jobs at the center of the energy transition
  • Targeted investment in communities historically left behind
