Homeownership is

key to building

wealth. Together, we

will advocate for

products and policies

that provide more

affordable homes to

more people.

HOMEOWNERSHIP

Consumer

protections create

fairer, more

transparent financial

markets. Together,

we will ensure

consumers keep the

safeguards they

deserve.

CONSUMER

PROTECTIONS

Safety net programs

help protect

vulnerable individuals

and families from

falling deep into

poverty. Together, we

will protect programs

like SNAP, IDAs and

more to help those in

need when they need

it most.

SAFETY NET

The vast majority of

tax incentives go to

those at the top, not

to those who need it

most. Together, we

will turn our upside-

down tax code right-

side up.

TURN IT

RIGHT-SIDE UP
