Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Education

His first legislative priority will be to build bipartisan support for affordable, accessible pre-K and child care for every family, raising early-education pay, expanding hours for parents who work nights, and treating early learning like the essential service it is.

Environment and climate

In Congress, he’ll work to treat housing as critical infrastructure, just like roads and bridges, so federal dollars flow faster to projects that expand supply and lower costs. He’ll collaborate across the aisle to reduce red tape at HUD, improve the Housing Choice Voucher program, expand first time home buyer tax credits, and restore federal funding for flood-mitigation and resilience projects that protect homeowners and lower insurance costs.

Healthcare

Richard believes health care is a right, not a privilege. And that no one should lose sleep wondering how to pay a hospital bill. In Congress, he’ll work across the aisle to guarantee affordable, high-quality coverage with real choice — protecting the right of anyone who likes their current plan to keep it, while ensuring every family has access to an affordable public option that lowers costs for everyone. He’ll champion legislation to cap out-of-pocket expenses, expand mental-health services, and take on drug companies that keep prices high while posting record profits.

In Congress, Richard will work to preserve and strengthen Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, ensuring they remain fully funded and off the chopping block. He’ll support measures to protect seniors from skyrocketing prescription-drug prices, safeguard pensions, and expand home- and community-based care so older Americans can age safely and comfortably in their homes.
