A ECONOMIC POPULIST FOR A CHANGE

An Affordability Crisis

 

Billionaires have significant control over today's economy, and they have a finger in every pie. They set the prices of the meat and vegetables you buy at the grocery store. They control the price you pay for home internet. They control the nation's for-profit health insurance companies. Try to find an affordable house to buy or an apartment to rent in the 2nd congressional district; it's nearly impossible. And centrist, pro-business Democrats like Rep. Gabe Vasquez are not the solution to this affordability crisis. They are part of the problem.

 

Tom is an economic populist who believes our economy should always prioritize people over profits. Health insurance companies, on the other hand, always put profit before patients. By sending this old warrior to Washington, you can be assured he will do what he has always done: fight for the men and women of this country.
