The Reformist Agenda
A New Way Forward means
a Government That Finally Works for the rest of Us
Our democracy is supposed to represent people — not the wealthy few, not corporations, and not the special interests who spend billions to tilt the system in their favor. But today, too many leaders answer to donors instead of voters. Too many decisions are shaped in boardrooms and backrooms instead of with communities. And too many families struggle to just get by while the ultra-rich accumulate more wealth and more power.
The Reformist Agenda is about changing that — reshaping our political and economic systems so everyone has a fair shot, a real voice, and a government that actually works for them first and industry and billionaires last. That’s possible through wholistic policy, not one-off and temporary solutions.
Restore Representation by Ending Big Money’s Influence
A system built on corporate profits will never deliver dignity, fairness, or progress. That’s why this campaign doesn’t take a dime from corporate PACs or special interests — and why we need deep structural reform.
My plan:
Public Voucher Elections: Give every voter publicly funded “democracy dollars” so candidates must earn support of everyday families — not just big donors.
Ban Corporate PAC Money: End the pipeline of influence that drowns out community voices.
Real Transparency: Expose dark money networks, require full disclosure of political spending and fundraising, as well as strengthening public records of lobbyist meetings for congressional members.
Ban insider trading by congress members and staff: Members of Congress, congressional staff, and their immediate households should not be allowed to trade on the same markets they’re supposed to regulate.
Mandatory Town Halls: Every member of Congress should show up, answer questions, and face the people they represent.
When politicians answer to voters, not billionaires, democracy works the way it should.
Tax Hard Work Less and Hoarded Wealth More
America’s tax code rewards wealth — not work. Teachers and nurses shoulder a higher tax burden than billionaires who live off investment income. Corporations exploit loopholes while everyday families fall further behind.
My plan:
End the Wealth Loopholes: Close the tax breaks that let billionaires pay lower rates than workers.
Create Tax Incentives That Build Wealth for the Middle Class: Reform the tax code so it rewards companies for sharing wealth — not hoarding it. End tax breaks for corporations that suppress wages, exploit workers, or engage in predatory behavior. Instead, create the largest tax incentives for businesses that practice profit-sharing, employee ownership, and real investment in workers’ well-being.
Cut Taxes for Working Families: Lower the burden on wages, especially for middle-class and low-income households.
Tax “Hoarded Housing”: Higher taxes on corporations and investors who buy up homes and price out families.
A fair economy starts with a fair tax code — one that rewards hard work and incentivizes treating workers with dignity.
Stand Up to Big Industry and Special Interests
Whether it’s Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tech, or Wall Street, corporate power has grown unchecked — shaping policy, raising prices, and limiting our choices. When powerful industries write the rules, everyday people pay the price.
My plan:
Restore Fair Competition:
Hold dominant corporations accountable when they rig markets, drive up prices, or block small businesses from competing.
Put People Over Profit: Ban price-gouging in healthcare, housing, utilities, and essential goods.
Hold Polluters Accountable: No more letting big industry poison communities and buy political protection — ban donations from private for-profit energy companies like Dominion Energy.
End the Revolving Door: Serving in congress should not be an application for powerful lobbying firms — .
This country was built by all of us. Our Future should be the same.
