Pass bold legislation to address income inequality now. The gap between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else has grown to a level that undermines economic stability for working families. A strong legislative response, including higher marginal tax rates on top earners, expanded earned income credits, and a meaningful minimum wage increase, is long overdue. The evidence is clear: when workers keep more of what they earn, they spend it locally, and local economies grow. Trickle-down approaches have had decades to prove themselves and have not delivered for ordinary people. Concentrated wealth at the top does not lift wages, fund schools, or keep families out of poverty. I will be watching this session closely. A vote for bold redistribution and worker-centered policy is a vote for the constituents who show up at town halls, knock on doors, and cast ballots.

Do not let another session pass without meaningful action on this.
