Make life more affordable

The pathways to a good and stable life are evaporating under the pressure of the affordability crisis. To restore those opportunities, we need urgent changes in multiple different areas:

Housing - If you don't have stable housing, you can't hold down a job, recover from an illness, or invest in your community. Read Carey's housing priorities >>

Utility Bills - Electric and gas bills are out of control, and we have to push back on the rate hikes utility companies are proposing. We need immediate relief, and long-term solutions to ensure clean and low-cost energy for all. Read Carey's utility bill priorities >>

Promote good jobs and union membership.

Support local businesses through state economic development partnerships.

Expand child care vouchers and promote early childhood workforce programs, to ensure every family can afford it.

Support Medicare for All, a single payer insurance system, which is the only way to reduce costs while improving care and paying providers a living wage, by pushing back on giant hospital conglomerates and insurance companies.
