Get StartedAbortion should be safe, legal, and rare. The most effective way to lower the total number of abortions is not through punitive government mandates that put women in harm's way, but by empowering individuals with age-appropriate sex education, reliable access to birth control, and the economic security needed to raise a family. When we give people the tools to prevent unintended pregnancies and the resources to navigate parenthood, abortion naturally becomes far less common. Learn more

A strong country starts with a world-class public education system that serves every child regardless of zip code. We must begin by offering universal pre-K for every family, giving children a strong developmental head start while providing working parents much-needed relief from skyrocketing childcare costs. In our K-12 schools, we need to protect public education funding, significantly raise teacher pay to end the growing educator shortage, and place mental health counselors in every school. By expanding career and technical education early in high school, we can ensure every student graduates with a clear path forward, whether they are bound for a university, a skilled trade, or the local workforce.

A comprehensive climate strategy must begin with the United States reclaiming its seat at the global table, starting with a decisive return to the Paris Agreement. However, formalizing our commitment is merely the baseline; the true challenge lies in sophisticated diplomacy that brings the world’s largest emitters, specifically China and India, into a shared accountability framework.

Repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 and expand the U.S. House of Representatives before the 2030 census so each member represents a smaller, more accountable number of constituents. I support legislation such as the Equal Voices Act or equivalent formulas that automatically grow the House with population, restoring the Founders’ vision of the people’s chamber. Learn more
I will fight to fully repeal the USA PATRIOT Act and restore the constitutional protections our Founders intended. Learn more
The Anders Healthcare plan is built on a foundational KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid! Obamacare & the Insurance Companies are a deliberate maze of networks, deductibles, and administrative bloat that serves corporate interests rather than patient outcomes. By transitioning to a streamlined, single-payer framework, we eliminate the middlemen who profit from complexity. This isn't just a policy shift; it is a structural reset designed to remove the fine print from your health, ensuring that medical decisions are made in a doctor's office, not a boardroom. Learn more
We must protect Main Street families by prohibiting large institutional investors from monopolizing residential neighborhoods, ensuring that houses are built and bought for people to live in, not for corporations to treat as speculative commodities. At the same time, we need to drastically increase housing supply by cutting federal red tape and incentivizing local communities to reform rigid zoning rules for starter homes, duplexes, and modern manufactured housing.

America needs an immigration system built on clarity and efficiency. For decades, federal policy has bounced between political posturing and complete bureaucratic dysfunction. Our nation requires a secure border and ports of entry to protect our people from criminals and fentanyl. Security must also go hand in hand with treating every legitimate migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker with basic human dignity. We can enforce our laws and protect our communities by deporting criminals without resorting to reckless unaccountable enforcement tactics that put innocent people in harm's way. This is why we must replace ICE with a modernized agency focused on legitimate public safety, legal entry, and transparent oversight. Learn more
At the heart of a modern, resilient economy is the belief that every citizen deserves a foundation of financial security. My Universal Basic Income (UBI) plan provides a guaranteed $1,000 every month to every American adult, no strings attached once the AI revolution begins and the jobs start to go away. This isn’t just a policy; it is a permanent floor beneath the feet of every worker, parent, and student. By ensuring that no one is left to choose between basic necessities like food and housing, we empower individuals to pursue meaningful work, education, and caregiving without the paralyzing fear of poverty. In an era of rapid AI technological shift and economic transition, this monthly dividend serves as a direct investment in the greatest resource we have: the American people. Learn more
The Jacob Anders Tax Plan introduces a sweeping, commonsense overhaul designed to completely relieve the financial burden on American families while boosting overall federal revenue. By restructuring our approach to income, this plan eliminates income taxes entirely for anyone earning under $500,000. For income exceeding that threshold, a simplified 50% flat tax will be applied. Based on standard baselines, this shift will adjust income tax revenue from $2.109 trillion down to $1.570 trillion. However, this is a targeted $539 billion reduction that represents a direct investment back into the pockets of everyday workers. Learn more
