Bringing Down Costs

Working families in Upstate New York are getting squeezed from every direction. That’s why Josh is working across the aisle to take on the special interests, lower costs, and make life a little easier for you.

When you go to the store, you should be able to count on fair prices. Instead, greedy corporations can charge whatever they want for essentials – even in a crisis when you need them the most. Josh’s Cracking Down on Price Gouging Act holds bad actors accountable when they try to exploit emergencies to rip people off, because no one should get rich by screwing over working people.

Healthcare should be a civil right, not something that forces families into bankruptcy or drives corporate profit. Josh is taking on Big Pharma with the Lowering Drug Costs for American Families Act, which will expand Medicare’s power to negotiate fair, affordable drug prices for everyone. And his Medicare Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act expands Medicare to cover the basic care seniors have been denied for too long.

Having a fair shot at the American Dream means being able to afford a place to live, raise a family, and retire with dignity. But right now, Upstate New York’s housing crisis is pricing too many people out of our communities. Josh is leading the charge to drive down costs with the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which will cut red tape and spur the construction of nearly two million new affordable homes.

Our seniors have worked hard their entire lives, and every penny they received from Social Security is a penny they’ve earned. Josh’s You Earned It, You Keep It Act eliminates federal taxes on all Social Security benefits and puts money directly back into senior’s pockets.
