WHERE WE STAND
INFLATION AND AFFORDABILITY IS OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE.
Let’s face it, our purchasing power is less today. Everything is more expensive. And your paycheck doesn’t go as far as it used to. The crisis is stealing the future from the next generation, making milestones like buying a home feel harder to reach. It is heartbreaking to watch so many hard working people struggle just to afford everyday life. Let’s work together to elect officials that will put us back on track.
GAS PRICES SPIKED BECAUSE OF GEOPOLITICS.
When fuel prices change, it creates a ripple effect across the entire economy. It is incredibly frustrating every single time you fill up your car. So not only does it cost you more to drive, but everything you buy costs more too. The national average for a regular gallon of gas has increased by more than $1.10 per gallon since the U.S. and Israel first launched airstrikes against Iran.
Let's elect leaders that solve problems, not create them.
WHAT OUR CANDIDATES SAY
“We need a government that serves working people instead of giant corporations. My priorities in the U.S. Senate include: creating a fairer tax system that makes giant corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes. That way, we can cut taxes for working families and small businesses.”
JAMES TALARICO
U.S. SENATE
“An affordable Texas that works for everyone. While multi-national corporations post record profits, Texans are paying more for groceries, housing, utilities, insurance and so much more. Texas needs leaders who are willing to take on the corporate greed that is making life increasingly unaffordable for working families.”
GINA HINAJOSA
TEXAS GOVERNOR
“We can have cheaper, healthier, and more local foods that pay farmers their fair share while also ensuring food remains affordable – but only if we limit the ability of the greedy few corporate middlemen from monopolizing our food system.”
CLAYTON TUCKER
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
