We cannot build a stronger, healthier nation on a foundation where millions are struggling just to survive. Economic equity in our nation is the baseline for progress.

When people can afford housing, healthcare, and a stable life, they can work, innovate, raise families and contribute fully to their communities. When they can’t, everything else we claim to care about, from education to public health to economic growth, begins to break down.

If we are serious about moving this country forward, we have to start by making sure everyone has a fair shot at stability and opportunity.

What Elizabeth Will Do

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 by passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act

• 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.
