Federal statements
EconomyNo. 01/12
The federal minimum wage should be raised above $7.25 an hour.
Background
The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009. States and cities can set higher minimums, and many do.
Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.
Background
These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.
Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.
Background
Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.
Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.
Background
Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.
You'll get your oil, because we're going to pump our oil right here in America... It's past time we unleash American energy and dismantle Biden and the Democrats' radical environmental hurdles
The federal government should limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Background
This would set federal limits on the carbon pollution power plants release. It concerns regulation by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
That means codifying the Endangerment Finding into law, so no future administration can strip the EPA of its authority to regulate greenhouse gases by executive order.

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.
Background
Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.
A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.
Background
Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.
When we act in the interest of human rights and democracy–as in supporting Ukraine against Russian invasion–we find ourselves on the right side of justice.
