Cost of living
Costs are still too high for working families. I’m focused on lowering them in real ways: extending the child tax credit and tax credits for the Affordable Care Act

Government accountability
I’ve taken that on by holding this administration accountable through oversight, fighting corruption by pushing to ban Congressional stock trading

Iran war powers
I’ve been opposed to his war of choice in Iran. He took us into this conflict without Congressional authorization, without an imminent threat, without a clear explanation to the American people and without a defined objective.

Labor negotiations

Lead in housing and drinking water
For decades, we've known that lead is dangerous and we’ve had the tools to address it. Yet in Cleveland and communities across the country, too many families are still living with lead paint and lead pipes
