I’m running for the U.S.
Senate to shake up our system through real, substantive legislation. I’ve
outlined my plan below, but if we’re going to make it happen, the first
step is winning our March election. [ [link removed] ]Can you chip in $5 today?

 1. Ban Federal Lobbyist Contributions: Right now I’m one of just 11 (out
of 435) Members of the House who reject federal lobbyist money. For
every industry and company who makes your life more difficult, price
gouges you, or stands in the way of real progress—you can bet they
have an army of lobbyists to do their bidding.
 2. Ban Corporate PAC Donations: This is simple. How can Congress oversee
corporations if they’re funding our campaigns?
 3. Eliminate Pet-project Funding for Politicians, also known as Earmarks:
Earmarks are a way of politicians directly giving funding to a certain
project or entity. They were banned under President Obama because they
consistently lead to waste and fraud. Earmarks also tend to benefit
whiter, wealthier, more conservative areas rather than communities
that could most benefit from federal funding. When Congress brought
back earmarks in 2021, I was the only Democrat to oppose them.
 4. Ban Congressional Stocks Trading: Right now, loopholes allow Members
of Congress to trade stock based on information we learn in private
briefings. I’ve already introduced the STOCK ACT 2.0, which would
create an enforceable and effective ban on these trades.
 5. Abolish the Filibuster and Ban Singular Holds on Nominations: The
filibuster stands in the way of so many real reforms—including
codifying the right to an abortion. And we should change the rules so
that a single Senator doesn’t have the power to hold up important
military promotions for political gain (looking at you, Alabama Sen.
Tuberville)
 6. Increase Transparency: I publicly release a list of every single
official meeting I take. Every Congressperson should do the same.

It’s
time to shake up the system. But there’s no way I can do this without your
support. [ [link removed] ]Every dollar adds up and sends a powerful message to
Washington.
