Attacked tax breaks and handouts for Big Tech and data centers
Data centers and monopoly utilities are getting rich off of our tax dollars. And jacking up our rates. Because politicians, like Rob Wittman, sell us out. Wittman traded half a million dollars in data center stocks and gave them billions in tax breaks. Wittman personally gets rich when our costs go up. That’s why we need to ban congressional stock trading.Paid ad (published transcript), October 14, 2026

Called to reverse the cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, or ACA coverage
>> Well, certainly when we talk about health care, we should need to reinstate the funding that's been stripped away from Medicaid.Interview, September 17, 2026
Called for lowering prescription-drug prices
I support enhancing ACA tax credits and restoring funding for rural hospitals. I support making medical billing transparent so there is no surprise billing, lowering the cost of life-saving prescription drugs by expanding Medicare’s ability to negotiate directly with big pharmaceutical companies so that no one has to choose between the medication that’s right for them and their other basic needs.News story, July 7, 2026
It’s about repealing the tariffs that are choking our farmers here in the 1st District and harming our small business operators; it’s about… the funding for Medicaid that was stripped away from Republicans in the House, in the budget bill, and also making sure that we are doing everything we can to lower drug prices.News article, September 16, 2026
We need to address the healthcare system that is broken. But while we fix it, we must be able to have healthcare affordable and accessible for people.
