Tackling the housing crisis through efforts to make owning and renting a home more affordable and through expanding the housing supply;
Reducing energy costs by cutting utility bills, lowering carbon pollution, and expanding domestic energy jobs;
Expanding the Child Tax Credit to support parents and working caregivers by returning more of their hard-earned money back into their pockets;
Making higher education more affordable and limiting predatory practices by for-profit student loan servicers; and
Lowering health care costs by permanently extending premium assistance to reduce monthly health insurance costs and closing the Medicaid coverage gap.
