Our Comprehensive Agenda

1

Immigration

Expanding the Legal Pathway

Key Initiatives:

  • Border Modernization: Invest in modern technology and personnel to secure the border and efficiently process all claimants, prioritizing humanitarian standards.
  • Address Backlogs: Dramatically increase the number of Immigration Judges and support staff to clear the asylum and visa application backlogs, ensuring quick and fair trials.
  • Legal Pathway Expansion: Let high-skilled STEM graduates skip green card caps and create a targeted, non-detention legalization process for long-term, contributing undocumented residents (e.g., farm and essential workers).

Expected Impact:

Economic models show that legalizing and expanding high-skilled immigration increases GDP, leading to higher tax revenues that reduce the federal budget deficit over the long term.

2

Global Relations

Use Strategic Tariffs while favoring a "Production Economy"

Key Initiatives:

  • Pro-Production Trade: Pivot US trade policy to favor a "Production Economy," using trade agreements and enforcement measures to incentivize domestic manufacturing and raise US wages.
  • Targeted Tariffs & Enforcement: Use strategic tariffs against countries engaging in non-reciprocal, unfair trade practices (e.g., intellectual property theft, forced labor), not as a blanket tax.
  • Supply Chain Resilience: Invest in domestic production for critical goods (e.g., semiconductors, medical supplies) and build new trade coalitions (like the EU) to counter non-market economies and strengthen supply chain security.

Expected Impact:

Revenue generated from targeted tariffs will be directed into a dedicated fund for domestic industrial incentives and worker retraining, ensuring the revenue supports the intended economic pivot.

3

Homelessness

Expand funding for the Housing First model

Key Initiatives:

  • Housing First Mandate: Aggressively expand funding for the Housing First model, which provides permanent housing without catches, with voluntary supportive services (mental health, substance use).
  • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): Quadruple federal investment in PSH and Rapid Re-Housing programs to provide long-term stability for those with chronic needs.
  • Prevention: Fund eviction prevention services and expand supportive discharge planning for individuals leaving foster care, hospitals, or the justice system to stop the inflow into homelessness.

Expected Impact:

Studies show the annual cost of Housing First ($20,115 per person) is cheaper than the cost of chronic homelessness (emergency rooms, incarceration, public services). We will reallocate a portion of public safety and emergency health spending into PSH.

4

Income Inequality

Implement a Progressive Wealth Tax

Key Initiatives:

  • Worker Pay: Raise the Federal Minimum Wage to $15/hour over four years.
  • Working Family Support: Dramatically expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC).
  • Tax the Wealthy: Implement a Progressive Wealth Tax on the top 0.1% of households and significantly raise the tax rate on capital gains (investment income).

Expected Impact:

The entire plan is funded by the Progressive Wealth Tax and the Capital Gains Tax Hike, generating $230 to $360 billion annually for redistribution and investment.

5

Automation and Job Loss

Create Universal Skills Training Accounts (USTA) for lifelong education, funded federally.

Key Initiatives:

  • Retraining Accounts: Create Universal Skills Training Accounts (USTA) for lifelong education, funded federally.
  • Automation Tax: Institute a modest tax on new automation technology to slow displacement and fund retraining.
  • Modernize Safety Net: Extend and strengthen Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits for workers in retraining, and make health insurance portable.

Expected Impact:

The plan is primarily funded by the new Automation Tax, which is explicitly earmarked to cover the costs of the USTA Program.

6

Infrastructure

Use Value Capture mechanisms to fund projects by utilizing the rise in property values created by the new infrastructure.

Key Initiatives:

  • Digital Access: Massive National Broadband Expansion to all communities.
  • Grid Resiliency: Upgrade the national power grid to support renewables and withstand climate events.
  • Value Capture: Use Value Capture mechanisms to fund projects by utilizing the rise in property values created by the new infrastructure.

Expected Impact:

Financing is a mix of a new Carbon Fee/Tax on high-emission sectors, the issuance of Green Bonds, and leveraging Public-Private Partnerships (P3s).

7

Affordable Housing

Double the amount of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit

Key Initiatives:

  • Supply Boost (Zoning Reform): Offer federal incentives to local governments that reform exclusionary zoning (e.g., eliminate single-family-only rules, reduce parking minimums) to legalize denser, "missing middle" housing.
  • Direct Subsidy: Double the amount of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to spur construction of 1.2 million affordable units.
  • Public Land Use: Mandate that federal and local surplus land be leased or sold at a reduced cost to developers who commit to building long-term affordable housing.

Expected Impact:

State/Federal government shares a portion of realty transfer tax revenue with local governments that adopt pro-supply zoning reforms.

8

Education

Close loopholes to generate a dedicated "Future Fund" for education, estimated to raise $150 billion annually.

Key Initiatives:

  • Teacher Pay/Shortage: Enact federal programs to raise teacher salaries in high-need schools and offer significant student loan forgiveness for educators, focusing on STEM and special education.
  • Higher Ed Costs: Greatly expand the federal Pell Grant program to cover a higher percentage of tuition costs for low- and middle-income students. Introduce a federal tuition cap for state public universities that receive federal funding, tying funding to affordability measures.
  • Voucher Neutrality: Oppose any federal push for universal, unfunded voucher programs, arguing they drain resources from the vast majority of students in public schools, while supporting targeted pilot programs for specialized, proven educational needs.

Expected Impact:

Restructures federal student loan interest rates to reflect government borrowing costs, converting the current profit from student loans into a program revenue source for Pell Grants.

Implementation Timeline

Day 1-100

Executive Action

Immigration will see immediate border reform. Global Relations will be fostered from early diplomatic action and treaties/agreements.

Year 1

Congressional Backing

Bills to fulfill our plans for Affordable Housing, Infrastructure, and Education will need Congressional and Budget Approval.

Year 2-4

Systematic Reform

Income Inequality requires implementation of our new Tax and Labor reforms. Automation and Job Loss also requires time to retrain our workforce and develop our National Strategy.
