Homeownership is
key to building
wealth. Together, we
will advocate for
products and policies
that provide more
affordable homes to
more people.
HOMEOWNERSHIP
Consumer
protections create
fairer, more
transparent financial
markets. Together,
we will ensure
consumers keep the
safeguards they
deserve.
CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS
Safety net programs
help protect
vulnerable individuals
and families from
falling deep into
poverty. Together, we
will protect programs
like SNAP, IDAs and
more to help those in
need when they need
it most.
SAFETY NET
The vast majority of
tax incentives go to
those at the top, not
to those who need it
most. Together, we
will turn our upside-
down tax code right-
side up.
TURN IT
RIGHT-SIDE UP
