Hi John, 

We’re fed up with corporations who are getting richer while hardworking Arizonans struggle to put food on the table. That’s why we have created the Affordability Agenda. 

The Affordability Agenda is a packet of legislation being put forth by Arizona’s legislators to lower the cost of living. This agenda stops corporate greed and puts hardworking Arizonans first.

With nine affordability policy proposals, Arizona legislators are equipped with the right solutions to stop price-gouging corporations and lower the cost of living. Our agenda includes bills to lower the cost of utilities, groceries, housing, prescription drugs, and healthcare. 

Here’s what each bill entails:

1. 💡Protect Consumers from Higher Energy Costs Act: This bill will require large energy utility users, like data centers, to pay for their new infrastructure and energy usage to prevent those costs from raising your utility rates.

2. ⚡Rein in Data Center Subsidies Act: This bill will cap the tax handouts data centers receive and divert those tax dollars to help everyday Arizonans pay their electric bills.

3. 🏡 Stop Corporate Homebuyers Act: Corporate homebuyers are buying up Arizona homes and reselling at a higher price just to rake in record profits. Limiting the amount of single-family homes corporations can buy in a year will increase affordable housing for everyday Arizonans. 

4. 🏜️ Housing for Arizonans First Act: This bill will implement a waiting period for corporations before they can purchase a single-family home, allowing Arizonans to have a fair shot at buying a home before corporations can outbid them with cash offers.

5. 🏥 Stop Big Pharma Takeover Act: A big pharmaceutical corporation owning both a pharmacy and a Pharmacy Benefit Manager allows for market manipulation and more price-gouging. It’s a monopoly. This bill will prohibit big Pharma from owning both simultaneously.

6. 💊 Price-Gouging Medicine Act: Prescriptions can be more affordable by making it illegal for a medicine manufacturer to engage in price-gouging of an essential off-patent or generic drug.

7. 🍞 Fair Price Act: Enacting a ban on higher price coercion between a supplier and a competitor to ensure grocery prices are fair between all groceries can lower the cost of food by leveling the playing field for small grocers.

8. 🥗 Stop Food Deserts Act: Greedy corporate monopolies create food deserts by blocking the opening of grocery stores on the site of a former grocery store to limit competition. Prohibiting them from placing these obstacles will increase food access and lower the cost of groceries.

9. 🩺 Fair Claims Accountability Act: Greedy health insurance companies wrongfully deny valid claims and fail to properly assist consumers with their claims. Expanding the state's assistance to those who have wrongfully denied insurance claims and will make healthcare more affordable.

We will be fighting this legislative session for the Affordability Agenda so that all Arizonans earn a dignified living and have the opportunity to thrive regardless of race, gender, income or zip code.

Thank you for supporting us,
