<h2>I’m a broke millennial trying to survive in a country rigged against us. I’m running for Congress.</h2>I’ve spent more years uninsured than covered. Medicaid, SNAP, and every scrap of paid leave have kept me afloat. I know the math of deciding which bill doesn’t get paid this month.In 2015 I became the youngest intern in my White House class, and the price tag nearly drowned me. I maxed out credit cards just to reach D.C., crashed on a stranger’s couch for ten dollars a week, and watched classmates with famous last names unwind in $400-a-night hotels. My college pulled my full-ride scholarship because I left Texas for the summer; when I asked to make up the hours they shrugged and said, “Internships are for seniors. Just postpone.”It was either UNT — or work at the White House for the first Black president.So, I dropped out.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/6633f673-54c1-4c2a-bfdf-d70cefc93178/54b41cd4-b86e-4bed-84db-1d24d8bae539/54b41cd4-b86e-4bed-84db-1d24d8bae539.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C204%2C1152%2C1172&amp;w=1500" alt="White House 2015 Intern photo" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="50" variant="framed">My days revolved around the White House comment line.Veterans confessed they were skipping PTSD medications to buy groceries. Teachers, grading papers at midnight, begged to know why they had to crowdfund printer paper. Parents of diabetic kids pleaded for insulin that didn’t cost half a paycheck.I sifted through stacks of letters, logged hundreds of calls, and poured thousands of emails into memos so senior staff—and the President—could hear what the country really sounded like. Then I’d watch Ivy-League interns glide into closed-door policy meetings, before counting quarters for the Metro ride home.That summer showed me how insulated our “future leaders” can be...and exactly how desperate the rest of the country is to be heard.It lit a fire I’ve carried ever since.Since then, I’ve run field teams, built coalitions, and pushed climate-and-justice fights forward across the country. Right now, I’m an out-of-work organizer piecing together freelance gigs in a brutal market, narrating sci-fi on YouTube, and stress-watching Interstellar with my dogs when the world feels too heavy. Live music, board games, mini golf, disappearing into a good video game also help me stay grounded.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/6633f673-54c1-4c2a-bfdf-d70cefc93178/c69533cc-796a-446d-9403-5657dc4e9dfd/c69533cc-796a-446d-9403-5657dc4e9dfd.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C471%2C2156%2C2589&amp;w=1500" alt="Anthony Field w/ Gollum Taco Shirt " caption="" align="right" alignwidth="32" variant="framed">I’ve leaned on family when I needed to, and I know not everyone gets that lifeline.I know this isn’t the "focus group approved" bio a consultant would approve.But I’m not here to impress consultants or large donors. I’m laying out a life that looks a lot more like yours than a career politician. A story that hasn’t been buffed out until it’s unrecognizable.So, yes, I’m running for Congress.I am running because our government doesn’t need another polished politician or millionaire placeholder.It needs someone who’s lived this struggle and is fired up enough to fight back.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page.

No loyalty to broken systems

No Insiders calling the shots

No corporate money

No political theater

<h3>This system wasn’t built for us — so we’re building a new one.</h3>I’m not here to manage decline or keep quiet. I’m here to disrupt a rigged system and build something better — alongside working people, not corporate consultants or party insiders. We deserve leadership that shows up, speaks truth, and puts our communities first.

Priorities List

I’m not a career politician. I’m not backed by billionaires or building a political dynasty. I’m a working-class organizer who’s felt the squeeze of rising costs, the weight of healthcare barriers, and the frustration of leaders who just don’t seem to give a damn.That’s why I’m running — to join the growing wave of working-class people taking back power and finally give our communities a voice that fights for them.The era of polite capitulation is over. It’s time to fight like lives depend on it.Because they do.

About

Hyattsville basements underwater. Seat Pleasant choking on code-red smog. Gas blasts rattling Columbia and Bel Air. Metro rails warping from the heat. These are not “acts of God.” They are the bill for decades of fossil-fuel giveaways. Maryland and Prince George’s County sits on the front line of climate chaos, yet Congress still shovels billions to oil and gas. Whether elected or not, I will fight tirelessly to end this.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>One hundred percent clean power by 2035<ul><li>Pass a national Renewable Energy Standard and slam the door on new oil and gas leases on federal land and offshore waters.</li><li>Put community-owned solar on every school, library, and rec center roof in the district.</li></ul></li><li>Green New Deal jobs program<ul><li>Enact the Green New Deal for Public Schools and the Civilian Climate Corps, creating tens of thousands of union jobs upgrading buildings, wetlands, and transit.</li><li>Free training so every fossil worker walks straight into a steady clean-energy paycheck.</li></ul></li><li>Local resilience first<ul><li>Increase FEMA pre-disaster mitigation grants. Prioritize flood-control projects along the Anacostia and backup microgrids for hospitals and senior centers.</li><li>Launch a federal heat-pump rebate that covers low-income homeowners at one hundred percent of cost.</li></ul></li><li>Environmental justice baked in<ul><li>Codify cumulative-impact screening. No new pipeline, incinerator, landfill, or mega-warehouse in already overburdened Black or Brown neighborhoods.</li><li>Increase Superfund taxes on petrochemical companies and steer that revenue to Cancer Alley, Baltimore Harbor, and other sacrifice zones.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>End $10 billion a year in fossil fuel subsidies. Public money shouldn't bankroll pollution.</li><li>Impose a carbon import fee on dirty steel, cement, and other polluting goods.</li><li>Redirect 30 percent of the Pentagon’s overseas construction budget to climate resilience.</li><li>Tax windfall wealth and extreme corporate profits that fuel the crisis.</li></ul>Every dollar spent now saves lives, creates jobs, and avoids billions in future disaster costs. Cleaner air. Safe water. Energy security. Cheaper bills. Jobs that cannot be outsourced.That is the livable planet I am fighting for.

End fossil fuels on an accelerated timeline. Pass a Green New Deal jobs program and bring federal dollars home for flood control and heat-resilient infrastructure. Close industry loopholes, scrap carbon-offset shell games, set hard caps, and enforce them with union wages.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

The U.S. spends more per person on healthcare than any country on Earth, yet families in our district still skip insulin, avoid going to the doctor, or gamble on GoFundMe. That is not a market glitch - it is a business model.<h4>The plan</h4>1. Medicare For All<ul><li>One national program, one card, one network.</li><li>No premiums, deductibles, or out-of-network traps. Cut out the corporate middlemen.</li></ul>2. Comprehensive Coverage<ul><li>Includes dental, vision, mental health, gender-affirming care, prescriptions, and long-term care.</li><li>If it affects your body or brain, it’s covered.</li><li>Check-ups, screenings, and labs free at the point of service.</li></ul>3. Slash Drug and Device Prices<ul><li>Medicare negotiates directly with manufacturers.</li><li>Create a federal Office of Generic Manufacturing to break monopolies and stop price-gouging.</li></ul>4. End Hospital Price-Gouging<ul><li>Cap hospital bills at 120% of Medicare rates.</li><li>Ban surprise “facility fees.”</li><li>Tie nonprofit hospital CEO pay to community-health outcomes, not revenue growth.</li></ul>5. Fix Care Deserts<ul><li>Full tuition for medical, dental, and nursing students who serve five years in underserved areas.</li><li>Fully fund community health centers and mobile clinics so no one drives more than 30 minutes for primary care.</li></ul>6. Mental-Health Parity<ul><li>Hire mental-health professionals through a federal service corps.</li><li>Require every K-12 school to have a full-time counselor and nurse.</li></ul>7. Research and Innovation<ul><li>Double the NIH budget.</li><li>Launch a national trial-matching portal to democratize access to cutting-edge care.</li><li>Science moves faster when billionaires and for-profit monopolies aren’t gatekeeping treatment.</li></ul><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Replace today’s employer and employee premiums with a single payroll tax that is lower than what most households and businesses currently pay. Everyone gets more care for less money, with no surprise bills.</li><li>Close the tax break for corporate “Cadillac” plans that favor executives over workers.</li><li>End Medicare Advantage waste and pharmacy benefit manager kickbacks. This alone would save about $150 billion every year.</li><li>Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Health, this pillar of the <a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/ea040dde-2d4e-44f3-ae3e-f4696aa6b00c">Wealth Reclamation Tax</a> will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.</li></ul>Healthcare is a human right, not a corporate revenue stream.

Pass Medicare for All. Zero premiums, zero copays, and no network traps. Negotiate drug prices, expand mental and dental coverage, and treat reproductive care as basic care. Private insurers had decades to fleece us; time is up.

Healthcare for All	

Our government doesn't work for us. Elon Musk spent millions trying to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and funneled hundreds of millions into a presidential election. Donald Trump is busy consolidating power, weaponizing the government, and brazenly enriching himself through crypto schemes and foreign deals. Corporate PACs buy influence, lawmakers cash in on insider tips, and billionaires like them siphon power from the people. Democracy shouldn't be for sale to the highest bidder.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Publicly funded elections<ul><li>Dollar-for-dollar public matching on the first $200 from small donors.</li><li>Outlaw corporate PAC and Super-PAC money once Citizens United is overturned; until then, cap transfers and slap a “sin fee” (see Phase One funding).</li></ul></li><li>Ban congressional stock trading<ul><li>Members, spouses, and senior staff must divest or put assets in true blind trusts. Violators owe the Treasury triple their profits.</li></ul></li><li>End the revolving door<ul><li>Lifetime lobbying ban for former members of Congress; five-year cooling-off period for senior staff.</li></ul></li><li>Conflict-of-interest audits for every bill<ul><li>Congressional Research Service must publish a public gain-and-loss sheet naming the industries that stand to win or lose before any vote.</li></ul></li><li>Term limits and ethics for the Supreme Court<ul><li>18-year staggered terms plus a binding ethics code with real enforcement.</li></ul></li><li>Sunlight everywhere<ul><li>Real-time, machine-readable disclosure of all campaign contributions, lobby filings, and congressional calendars. If you meet a lobbyist, voters see it by dinnertime.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4>Phase One (Pre–Citizens United repeal):<ul><li>2 percent fee on corporate PAC transfers to Super PACs (~$700M/cycle)</li><li>10 percent tax on lobbying expenditures (~$400M/year)</li><li>10 percent skim on DOJ corporate fraud settlements</li><li>PAC wind-down rule: remaining funds go to public financing pool</li></ul>Phase Two (Post–Citizens United repeal):<ul><li>Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Democracy, this pillar of the <a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/ea040dde-2d4e-44f3-ae3e-f4696aa6b00c">Wealth Reclamation Tax</a> will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.</li></ul>

Ban corporate PAC money, establish public campaign financing, and mandate conflict-of-interest audits for every bill. Bring in ranked-choice voting and set term limits for the Supreme Court so voters, not donors, drive the agenda.

Government That Delivers	

The United States has spent decades destabilizing other countries, then punishing the people who flee the fallout. Families are caged. Asylum seekers are criminalized. Workers are exploited in silence. In Prince George’s County, immigrants are neighbors, co-workers, parents, and students, but they are treated like bargaining chips by politicians who feed fear for power.A just immigration system doesn’t start with walls or raids. It starts with humanity, legal protection, and a fair path to belonging.<h4>The Plan</h4>1. Legal status and a path to citizenship<ul><li>Create an eight-year path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who pass background checks and pay taxes.</li><li>Expand DACA and TPS with automatic renewals and legal pathways to permanent residency.</li><li>End the three- and ten-year reentry bars that keep families separated for decades.</li></ul>2. Humane border and asylum policy<ul><li>Restore and expand asylum protections, including for people fleeing political violence, climate disasters, and gender-based harm.</li><li>Repeal Title 42 and other Trump-era asylum bans.</li><li>Process asylum claims efficiently and fairly, with full legal representation and non-carceral housing options.</li></ul>3. End detention profiteering<ul><li>Ban for-profit immigration detention centers.</li><li>Impose a strict 72-hour limit on family separations and child detentions.</li><li>Fund community-based alternatives to detention that respect human rights and due process.</li></ul>4. Strengthen worker protections<ul><li>Create a universal work authorization registry that protects undocumented workers from wage theft and employer abuse.</li><li>Expand U-visas and whistleblower protections for immigrant workers who report labor violations.</li><li>End I-9 raids and workplace crackdowns that punish workers instead of exploitative employers.</li></ul>5. Keep ICE out — and in full view when they’re forced in<ul><li>End 287(g) deputization. Local police should keep communities safe, not funnel neighbors into detention.</li><li>Raid-free safety zones. No ICE operations near schools, hospitals, courthouses, or houses of worship.</li><li>Warrants for data. DMV, utility, and school records stay sealed unless ICE shows a judge-signed warrant.</li><li>Full-badge transparency. Agents in the field must display a readable name plate and badge number, wear bodycams, and present warrants in the language spoken in the home. No masks, no anonymity, no exceptions (medical PPE aside).</li><li>Body-cam mandate + public log. If local police have to wear cameras, federal immigration agents do too. Footage is logged the same day, timestamped, and reviewable by an independent civilian board.</li></ul>If you carry a federal badge, you don’t get to hide behind it—and you definitely don’t get to terrorize our communities.6. Fix the legal immigration backlog<ul><li>Modernize the green card and visa system to clear the decades-long backlog for family reunification and employment-based migration.</li><li>End the country cap on employment visas that discriminates against immigrants from populous nations.</li><li>Automatically extend work authorization for immigrants stuck in processing delays.</li></ul><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>End for-profit immigration detention contracts and border wall surveillance contracts.</li><li>Close tax loopholes for companies that illegally exploit undocumented workers.</li><li>Reinvest asylum backlog and deportation defense funding into community case support.</li></ul>Immigrants are not threats or burdens — they are builders, caregivers, organizers, and entrepreneurs.It’s time our laws treated them with dignity and respect.

Create a fast pathway to citizenship, lift the arbitrary visa caps, and end for-profit detention. Streamline asylum so families get decisions in months, not years, and guarantee workplace protections for every undocumented worker.

Headline goes here

America’s future is sitting at a desk while hedge-fund charters siphon public money, teachers run DoorDash shifts to pay rent, and student-loan debt has blown past $1.7 trillion. In Prince George’s County hundreds of classrooms still lack full-time teachers, and some schools heat with boilers installed when vinyl was new. Education should free kids, keep them safe and healthy, support their dreams, and never bankrupt a family or fatten a Wall Street ledger.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Public dollars for public schools<ul><li>Triple Title I and IDEA funding, steer every new federal education dollar to public districts, and freeze for-profit charters out of the pipeline.</li><li>Full federal audits for any charter that touches tax money; misspend it, lose it.</li></ul></li><li>Universal early childhood<ul><li>Free, high-quality pre-K for every three- and four-year-old, plus year-round childcare that costs families no more than 7 percent of income.</li></ul></li><li>Pay and protect educators<ul><li>Set a $60,000 national floor for teacher salaries, indexed to inflation.</li><li>Make threats or doxxing of school staff a federal felony and guarantee collective-bargaining rights in every state.</li></ul></li><li>Debt-free paths after high school<ul><li>Cancel existing federal student loans.</li><li>Tuition-free public colleges, HBCUs, tribal colleges, and trade schools funded by a Wall Street speculation tax.</li><li>Double Pell Grants until tuition goes to zero.</li></ul></li><li>University freedom &amp; student rights<ul><li>Ban political loyalty pledges for federal research funds and block ICE raids on campuses.</li><li>Restore DACA and protect international students so ideas, not fear, roam our quads.</li></ul></li><li>Community schools, modern buildings<ul><li>Fund a nurse, counselor, and librarian in every public school.</li><li>Launch a Green Schools Corps to retrofit HVAC, solar roofs, and lead-free pipes. Clean air is not optional equipment.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Restore the estate tax on inherited wealth over $10 million.</li><li>Close the private-school tuition deduction loophole.</li><li>End subsidies for for-profit colleges that defraud students.</li><li>Phase out carried interest tax breaks for private equity in the education sector.</li><li>Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Education, this pillar of the <a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/ea040dde-2d4e-44f3-ae3e-f4696aa6b00c">Wealth Reclamation Tax</a> will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.</li></ul>Our children deserve nothing less than a world-class education that empowers them, not burdens them.It’s time to invest in minds, not profits.

Remove tuition at public colleges, provide universal pre-K, and cancel student debt. Fund classrooms instead of test prep. Redirect federal vouchers to public schools and ban for-profit charters that drain our tax dollars.

Education for All	

We send people off to war with medals and parades and then leave them waiting months for care, stuck in shelters, or buried in bureaucracy when they return. That’s not patriotism. That’s abandonment.Standing by veterans means more than slogans. It means health care without red tape, housing without delay, and opportunities without strings. <h4>The Plan</h4>1. Guaranteed housing for every veteran<ul><li>End veteran homelessness through a ‘Housing First’ guarantee that provides housing without preconditions.</li><li>Expand the HUD-VASH program and increase funding for transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing.</li><li>Prohibit local zoning restrictions that block veteran housing projects.</li></ul>2. Modernize and expand VA health care<ul><li>No more dying in the waiting room. No more privatization schemes.</li><li>Fully fund and staff the VA and stop outsourcing to for-profit systems that delay or deny care.</li><li>Prioritize mental health, substance use treatment, and suicide prevention through dedicated regional VA teams.</li><li>Streamline eligibility and expand automatic enrollment for post-9/11 and Gulf War vets.</li></ul>3. Education and career without barriers<ul><li>Make GI Bill benefits universal and transferrable to family members.</li><li>Close loopholes that allow for-profit colleges to exploit vets for federal dollars.</li><li>Fund union apprenticeship programs and veteran job placement initiatives in clean energy, public service, and infrastructure.</li></ul>4. Trauma-informed justice reform<ul><li>Automatically expunge low-level convictions for veterans who complete treatment or reentry programs.</li><li>Establish veteran-specific diversion programs for non-violent offenses tied to PTSD, substance use, or homelessness.</li><li>Train all first responders and correctional staff in veteran-specific crisis response.</li></ul>5. Full benefits for all veterans — no exceptions<ul><li>Restore full benefits to LGBTQ+ and mentally ill vets discharged under discriminatory policies.”</li><li>Eliminate the “VA disability backlog” by modernizing claims processing and expanding presumptive condition categories.</li><li>Make VA care fully accessible to National Guard and Reserve veterans.</li></ul><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Impose a war profiteer tax on defense contractors that exploit VA and Pentagon contracts.</li><li>Reclaim unspent military construction funds for veteran housing and mental healthcare.</li><li>End subsidies for for-profit colleges that prey on GI Bill recipients.</li></ul>No more performative patriotism. No more promises without delivery.If we can afford to send people to war, we can damn well afford to take care of them when they come home.

Same-day VA care, full mental-health coverage, and automatic discharge upgrades for survivors of military sexual trauma. Invest in green public-works jobs so vets keep serving their country while earning union wages at home.

A Real Commitment to Veterans

While Wall Street CEOs walk away with golden parachutes, too many seniors are left with eviction notices, skipped prescriptions, and half-empty plates. That’s not a funding problem — it’s a failure of values. Social Security is a promise, not a piggy bank. But instead of protecting it, politicians keep pushing “reforms” while Big Pharma, greedy landlords, and insurers bleed our elders dry.In Maryland and across the country, too many elders live alone, live poor, or live without the care they deserve.<h4>The Plan</h4>1. Expand Social Security, don’t cut it<ul><li>Increase monthly benefits by at least $200 for all recipients.</li><li>Scrap the earnings cap so millionaires pay into Social Security at the same rate as teachers and truck drivers.</li><li>Tie future benefit increases to the Elder Index, not the broken inflation formula.</li></ul>2. Guarantee long-term care<ul><li>Create a universal long-term care benefit through Medicare to cover home care, assisted living, and nursing care — no matter your income or ZIP code.</li><li>Expand Medicaid funding to eliminate the waiting lists for home and community-based services (HCBS).</li></ul>3. End senior poverty and eviction<ul><li>Create a federal rent cap for low-income seniors tied to Social Security income.</li><li>Automatically enroll eligible seniors in SNAP, utility assistance, and prescription discount programs.</li><li>Fund senior housing, transportation, and community centers in every county with high elder poverty.</li></ul>4. Lower drug and healthcare costs<ul><li>Let Medicare negotiate all drug prices — not just a handful.</li><li>Cap out-of-pocket drug costs at $100 per month for all seniors.</li><li>Ban patent loopholes that let Big Pharma block cheaper generics.</li></ul>5. Protect pensions and retirement security<ul><li>Expand the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to safeguard pensions from corporate raiding and bankruptcy abuse.</li><li>Create a public Retirement Savings Plan for workers without employer pensions.</li><li>Ban hedge funds from raiding retirement plans through debt-leveraged buyouts.</li></ul><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Eliminate the payroll tax cap so millionaires pay the same rate as nurses.</li><li>Impose an estate tax on inheritances over $10 million.</li><li>Add a wealth surtax on billionaire net worth over $1 billion.</li><li>Penalize corporations that raid or underfund pensions.</li></ul>Growing old shouldn’t mean growing poor. Seniors deserve more than survival, they deserve dignity, comfort, and community.Let’s treat aging like a life stage, not a death sentence.

Scrap the payroll-tax cap so billionaires pay the same rate you do, boost monthly checks, and let Medicare negotiate drug prices. Aging should mean dignity, not pill-splitting.

Social Security &amp; Seniors

Prince George’s workers generate billions for Amazon warehouses, federal contractors, and the ports up the road, yet too many are stuck on $15-an-hour gigs with shifts that change at the last minute. Meanwhile S&amp;P 500 CEOs now make 344 times what their employees earn. That is not a labor market; it is a siphon. Work should buy stability, dignity, and a future - not a second job at midnight.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Raise the floor<ul><li>Set a $20 federal minimum wage and index it to inflation so Congress never again lets paychecks fall behind prices.</li><li>Phase in wage hikes faster for tipped and disabled workers - no carve-outs.</li></ul></li><li>Make unionizing the default, not the fight of your life<ul><li>Pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act: card-check recognition, first-contract arbitration.</li><li>Union busting? Million-dollar fine.</li><li>Ban so-called “right-to-work” laws that kneecap unions in twenty-six states.</li></ul></li><li>Sector-wide collective bargaining<ul><li>Start with care, warehouse, and fast-food industries so companies compete on service, not who can union-bust cheapest.</li><li>Federal wage boards set baseline pay and benefits, local unions negotiate up from there.</li></ul></li><li>Fair work schedules and gig-economy protections<ul><li>Require two-week schedule notice and time-and-a-half pay if bosses change shifts inside 24 hours.</li><li>Reclassify app drivers and delivery workers as employees with overtime, unemployment, and workers’ comp.</li></ul></li><li>Climate jobs you can retire on<ul><li>Fund a Civilian Climate Corps that hires people at union rates to rebuild transit, wetlands, and energy-efficient housing.</li><li>Tie every federal contract to a local-hire requirement and a living-wage floor.</li></ul></li><li>Portable benefits and paid leave<ul><li>Create a national benefits account that follows workers across jobs and gigs.</li><li>Guarantee twelve weeks of paid family and medical leave funded by a small payroll premium.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Add a 2 percent surtax on corporate stock buybacks (~$40–50 billion/year).</li><li>Close offshore tax deferral and loopholes for multinational corporations.</li><li>Repeal accelerated depreciation for private equity–owned real estate.</li><li>Create a payroll split (employee + employer) to fund national paid leave.</li><li>Add a small financial speculation fee on short-term derivatives trading.</li><li>Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Jobs and Labor, this pillar of the <a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/ea040dde-2d4e-44f3-ae3e-f4696aa6b00c">Wealth Reclamation Tax</a> will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.</li></ul>Work should bankroll a life, not just cover the bills; let’s lift wages until that’s exactly what every paycheck does.

Fight for a 20-dollar minimum wage indexed to inflation, card-check union recognition, and sector-wide bargaining. Tie federal contracts to local living wages and shut down so-called right-to-work laws.

Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Benefits

Prince George’s rents are the highest in Maryland and more than half our neighbors hand over a third of their paycheck just to stay housed. Investors now buy one in every five homes, shutting first-time buyers out. Home equity is still the largest engine of middle-class wealth with the gap between owners and renters only growing. Housing justice is not a hand-out; it is one of the best ways we can build stability and prosperity for our families.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Social housing surge<ul><li>Use the National Housing Trust Fund to create or acquire at least 2 million permanently affordable homes by 2035, with at least 15,000 in Prince George’s County.</li><li>Guarantee rents never exceed 30 percent of household income.</li></ul></li><li>Renter Bill of Rights<ul><li>Cap annual rent hikes at inflation + 2 percent on any home backed by federal dollars.</li><li>Ban no-fault evictions and provide a lawyer in every eviction case.</li></ul></li><li>Pathways to ownership<ul><li>Launch a First-Generation Homebuyer Match: every dollar saved is matched two-for-one (up to $25,000) for the down-payment.</li><li>Expand land-trust homes and require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to offer low-rate 20-year fixed mortgages to first-time and first-generation buyers.</li></ul></li><li>Community control first<ul><li>Give cities, co-ops, and land trusts first refusal when large landlords sell.</li><li>Offer zero-interest federal loans so neighbors, not hedge funds, own the block.</li></ul></li><li>Crack down on corporate landlords<ul><li>Impose a one-percent surtax on rental portfolios above 1,000 units.</li><li>Bar private-equity firms from buying HUD or FHA foreclosures.</li></ul></li><li>End homelessness with Housing First<ul><li>Make Section 8 an entitlement.</li><li>Pair permanent supportive housing with wrap-around mental-health and addiction services until street homelessness hits functional zero.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>End the $15 billion-a-year mortgage interest deduction for vacation homes and investment properties. Homeowners deserve help. Landlords don't need handouts.</li><li>Tax empty homes. Levy a two percent vacancy tax on investor-owned units left empty for more than six months.</li><li>Close the carried interest loophole for private equity funds that profit off housing. No more special tax treatment for flipping foreclosures.</li><li>Add a federal flip tax on homes resold within two years to crack down on speculation and price gouging.</li><li>Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Housing, this pillar of the <a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/ea040dde-2d4e-44f3-ae3e-f4696aa6b00c">Wealth Reclamation Tax</a> will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.</li></ul>Stable rentals today and a clear route to equity tomorrow.That is real freedom.

Launch national social housing, champion a renter’s bill of rights, and back statewide rent stabilization. Shift HUD funding from private-equity giveaways to community land trusts so neighbors, not hedge funds, own our streets.

Housing You Can Afford

Real freedom starts at skin level; no one else gets a veto over your body. Politicians who can’t find a uterus on a textbook diagram have no business policing one. From Texas to Tallahassee, extremists are writing bills that let fertilized eggs sue doctors while denying lifesaving care to pregnant patients and criminalizing gender-affirming medicine. In Prince George’s County, Black women face a maternal-mortality rate more than twice the national average. Bodily autonomy is non-negotiable; the government’s role is to guarantee care, not ration it.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Codify abortion rights, no politically invented timelines<ul><li>Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act and repeal Hyde so Medicaid covers the procedure in every state.</li><li>Open federal clinics on VA bases, tribal land, and other federal property where bans block access.</li></ul></li><li>National shield laws<ul><li>Bar states from prosecuting patients, doctors, or helpers who cross state lines for abortion or gender-affirming care.</li><li>Ban location-data sales around clinics and pharmacies.</li></ul></li><li>Contraception, IVF, and family planning on demand<ul><li>Guarantee over-the-counter birth control and morning-after pills in every pharmacy, free for anyone with an ID.</li><li>Protect in-vitro fertilization and fertility treatments under federal civil-rights law so embryos aren’t used as political trophies.</li></ul></li><li>Protect and expand gender-affirming care<ul><li>Enact the Transgender Bill of Rights, blocking state bans on medically approved treatments.</li><li>Require all insurers that touch federal dollars to cover puberty blockers, HRT, and related surgeries without discriminatory hoops.</li></ul></li><li>End the Black maternal-mortality crisis<ul><li>Make doula services and midwife care mandatory Medicaid benefits.</li><li>Fund community birthing centers in every county where maternal deaths exceed the national average.</li><li>Create a federal obstetric-training debt-forgiveness program that places OB-GYNs in underserved hospitals.</li></ul></li><li>Fund reproductive health research<ul><li>Restore and double NIH grants for maternal health, contraception innovation, and menopause treatment.</li><li>Launch a national adverse-outcomes registry so deadly hospital practices cannot hide behind NDAs.</li></ul></li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Repeal the Hyde Amendment and redirect existing federal family-planning dollars to cover abortion and comprehensive reproductive care in every state.</li><li>Impose a one percent tax on Big Pharma’s direct-to-consumer advertising. Redirect the $1.3 billion a year to fund maternal health and gender-affirming care clinics.</li><li>End the $100 million federal subsidy for abstinence-only programs and reinvest it into honest sex education and universal access to contraception.</li><li>Add a surtax on pharmaceutical CEO compensation above 50x the median worker pay.</li></ul>Freedom over our bodies means lawmakers step back, care steps in, and the choice stays with you. Always.

Write Roe into federal law, end Hyde, and protect gender-affirming care. Pass shield laws to block extremist prosecutions. Guarantee contraception, abortion, IVF, and trans care nationwide. Ban data brokers from tracking clinic visits. Everyone must make medical decisions free from cost, fear, and government meddling.

I’m a licensed Maryland gun owner who has a compliant semi-automatic rifle and a handgun. I respect the Second Amendment, and I expect every gun owner to uphold the highest standard of responsibility.Every week in Prince George’s County, families live in fear: community centers lock early, parents worry when they receive school-news alerts, and trauma units treat too many gunshot victims. This isn’t the price of freedom; it’s the cost of inaction.<h4>The plan</h4><ol><li>Universal background checks • Close the private-sale loophole so every gun transfer—from pawnshop to yard sale—runs through a check. • Require dealers to report multiple long-gun sales to curb trafficking.</li><li>Red-flag laws that save lives • Pass a federal Extreme Risk Protection Order statute so families and law enforcement can temporarily remove firearms from those at imminent risk. • Fund courts to process petitions within 48 hours—when every second counts.</li><li>Ban military-style weapons • Reinstate the Federal Assault Weapons Ban with updated definitions and magazine limits. • Offer a voluntary buy-back program for prohibited firearms and magazines, funded by a small fee on new gun sales.</li><li>Liability insurance for gun owners • Require every firearm purchase to include a one-year liability policy covering negligent use. • Adjust premiums based on safety-training completion and secure-storage compliance.</li><li>Community violence intervention • Expand Cure Violence–style outreach in hotspots—fund local intervention workers, not prisons. • Invest in youth mentoring, job training, and trauma-informed counseling so violence never becomes the default.</li></ol><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Raise the federal excise tax on ammunition to 5 cents per round (~$250–280M/year).</li><li>Add a $50 fee on new firearm sales to fund universal background checks and crisis response teams.</li><li>Redirect surplus military equipment from 1033 police programs to local community violence prevention grant</li></ul>Gun ownership and public safety are not in conflict.Responsible gun laws protect lives, protect communities, and protect the Second Amendment from being weaponized by extremists.

Background checks on every sale, a ban on battlefield rifles in civilian hands, and federal cash for community-led violence-intervention teams. Freedom is not dodging bullets at the grocery store.

Gun Violence Prevention	

The U.S. has spent decades exporting war while importing instability. Our government has backed coups, bombed weddings, and armed dictators — then acted shocked when violence came full circle. Meanwhile, global hunger rises, human rights collapse, and climate refugees go without aid. A humane foreign policy means putting diplomacy, dignity, and life above weapons deals and regime games.<h4>The plan</h4>1. End endless war<ul><li>Repeal the 2001 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force.</li><li>Ban offensive drone strikes outside of declared war zones.</li><li>Withdraw U.S. troops from unauthorized combat operations.</li></ul>2. No more blank checks for apartheid and occupation<ul><li>Condition military aid to Israel on compliance with international law and human rights.</li><li>Support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to occupation, and a diplomatic path to self-determination.</li><li>End arms sales to regimes committing war crimes — including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE.</li></ul>3. Diplomacy over domination<ul><li>Restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran.</li><li>End unilateral sanctions that block access to food, fuel, and medicine.</li><li>Make U.S. foreign assistance contingent on labor rights, press freedom, and democratic reforms.</li></ul>4. Protect human rights and climate refugees<ul><li>Expand asylum for people fleeing political persecution, climate disasters, and gender-based violence.</li><li>Fully fund the UNHCR, WHO, and other global institutions defunded by militarism.</li><li>Ban U.S. companies from exploiting forced labor in global supply chains.</li></ul>5. Rein in the war machine<ul><li>Cut $100 billion annually from the Pentagon’s bloated base budget — more than enough to fund diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and post-conflict recovery.</li><li>Audit defense contractors for fraud, price gouging, and abuse.</li><li>End the revolving door between weapons contractors and federal policymaking.</li></ul><h4>How we pay</h4><ul><li>Cut $100 billion from the Pentagon’s $850B base budget—without touching salaries or VA care.</li><li>Impose a war profiteer surtax on excessive defense contractor profits.</li><li>End military aid to authoritarian regimes and redirect it toward diplomacy and humanitarian support.</li></ul>

Slash Pentagon pet projects, stop arming dictators, and put climate diplomacy ahead of oil deals. Security means fewer body bags and more allies, not endless wars.

Voter roll purges, book bans, attacks on trans kids, unarmed Black men killed with impunity, and billion-dollar corporations gaming the courts; none of this is a glitch.

Let’s write that into law and enforce it like we mean it.

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, codify the Equality Act, and protect LGBTQ+ rights in housing, healthcare, and work. Safeguard marriage equality, end qualified immunity, and overhaul policing with national standards. Close racial wealth gaps through baby bonds and create a clear path to citizenship so no one lives as a second-class resident.

Equality Under the Law	

Wall Street got rich off our backs. It’s time they paid us back.Prince George’s County is one of the wealthiest Black-majority counties in the United States — and yet, nearly half of families here are struggling to afford rent, food, and basic care.That’s not because we lack resources. It’s because they’ve been hoarded - by Wall Street, by hedge funds, and by politicians who protect the powerful instead of fighting for us.The Wealth Reclamation Tax is a simple, targeted way to reverse decades of corporate greed and reinvest in the public good. They’ve rigged the rules, crashed the economy (more than once), and walked away with record profits. <h4>The Plan</h4>1. A 0.5% Wall Street transaction tax<ul><li>Apply a half-percent tax on the sale of stocks, bonds, and other financial trades.</li><li>Retirement accounts, 401(k)s, mutual funds, and genuine small investors are exempt—they’re building a future, not gaming the system.</li><li>Already proven effective in countries like the UK and France. It's time we do it here.</li></ul>2. Generate massive public investment - without taxing working people one dime.<ul><li>Raise hundreds of billions from the portfolios of billionaires and Wall Street traders.</li><li>Place the burden where it belongs: on the ultra-rich, not everyday families.</li><li>Disincentivize high-frequency trading that destabilizes markets.</li></ul>3. Lock funds to our five core pillarsThe Wealth Reclamation Tax is a simple, targeted way to reverse decades of corporate greed and reinvest in the public good. Every dollar raised is reinvested directly into what’s been denied to us for decades.The Wealth Reclamation Tax helps fund:<ul><li><a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/b54c864f-9cb3-4776-a307-3acd35853bd0">Housing You Can Afford</a></li><li><a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/391d50e7-3c2e-484a-84f6-6287ab8d4b9f">Healthcare for All</a></li><li><a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/82ede9a7-52be-4031-b2bd-24bdb9f0fdf9">Education for All</a></li><li><a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/99286294-2f38-4a49-b74f-b760d9ce2867">Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Benefits</a></li><li><a href="/dcfb6855-e06c-48d2-9f12-eeb3b212323e/5fb1f09f-4051-444d-94bc-ce9e27bcf00e">A Government That Delivers</a></li></ul><h4>Why now — and why Glenn Ivey won’t do it</h4>He’s taken tens of thousands from Big Pharma, corporate PACs, and registered lobbyists. At a March 2024 town hall, a <a href="https://youtu.be/EBRLMkxIf34?si=qyCAnWBeRTHE6Q9G&amp;t=6693" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">disabled veteran finally said out loud</a> what so many of us feel:“Your (Ivey's) net worth is approximately somewhere between $1 and $3 million. Your salary is $174 thousand. The per-capita income in District 4 — the average salary — is less than $41 thousand. That means that in your district people are surviving on less than $4,000 a month. You operate in different circles than we do; you talk with different people than we do. When we say that we are scared of surviving until 2026, that’s what we mean.”Ivey’s reply? A shrug—and a reminder that $174 k is “less than I made in private practice.” That isn’t sacrifice; it’s privilege.While rents explode, healthcare costs soar, and Wall Street drains local pensions, he offers commissions and study groups. He’ll sign on after the heavy lifting is done. Never first in, never the loudest.However, he has voted to expand government surveillance, signed off on billions in unaccountable military aid, supports congressional pay raises, and declines to support publicly financed federal elections.That’s the politics of caution, not courage - and it protects the powerful, not us.<h4>I’m here to fight for the rest of us</h4>We’ve been told over and over and over and over again, "there's not enough to house people, care for our sick, or educate our kids."The Wealth Reclamation Tax doesn’t punish success; it reclaims stolen opportunity.<h4>This is how we deliver.</h4><h4>This is how we take our future back</h4>

We don’t have a scarcity problem — we have a hoarding problem.This tiny tax on Wall Street trades will generate billions to fund what matters: health care, housing, education, and justice. It’s time we stop begging billionaires for scraps and start reclaiming what they owe us.
