What Elizabeth Will Do:

Make Housing Affordable Again

• Crack down on corporate landlords and investment firms buying up single-family homes

• Provide first-time homebuyer assistance and down payment support

• Expand affordable housing development through federal grants

• Strengthen renter protections against predatory practices

• Cap rent increases to prevent price gouging

• Why it matters: Corporate greed has turned the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Homes should be for families, not Wall Street portfolios.

Tax Fairness: Make the Wealthy Pay Their Share

• Close tax loopholes for billionaires and corporations

• Ensure no billionaire pays a lower tax rate than a nurse or teacher

• Oppose tax cuts for the wealthy while working families struggle

• Why it matters: Amazon paid $0 in federal taxes in 2018 while Elizabeth's patients were rationing insulin. That's obscene.

Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit

• Increase EITC to put more money in working families' pockets

• Restore the expanded Child Tax Credit that cut child poverty by 40%

• Make both credits fully refundable

• Why it matters: These aren't handouts—they're investments in families. And they work.

Support Workers' Rights to Organize

• Protect and expand union rights

• Oppose "Right to Work" laws that weaken unions

• Raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage

• Ensure fair scheduling and paid sick leave

• Why it matters: Elizabeth is a proud union supporter. Workers built the middle class, and unions will rebuild it.

Stop Harmful Tariffs That Raise Costs

• Oppose tariffs that increase prices on everyday goods

• Negotiate fair trade deals that protect American workers without gouging consumers

• Why it matters: When tariffs raise the cost of groceries, diapers, and medications, working families pay the price.

Expand SNAP and Food Assistance Programs

• Increase SNAP benefits to reflect actual food costs

• Simplify application processes

• Expand eligibility for working families

• Why it matters: No child in America should go to bed hungry. Full stop.
