Marie’s Policy Positions
Americans are being squeezed by rising costs and static wages.
In Congress, I will oppose unnecessary federal spending that creates inflation. I will also advocate for a strategic energy plan to reduce the cost of gas and electricity, and indirectly the cost of most goods.
Beyond lowering the cost of everyday purchases, I will advance childcare subsidies for low and middle income families to parents who wish to stay home with their young children, as well as to daycare providers.
AffordabilityRising rents and home prices continue to be one of the greatest challenges for Americans.
I will fight to remove obstacles to home ownership by cutting unnecessary regulations that make it hard to build. I oppose the ownership of single family homes by private equity groups and corporations. I advocate to streamline the permitting process to make it easier for people to build through new technologies like AI.
HousingThe political class has privileges and advantages that exceed fairness.
I will vote to ban stock trading for members of Congress and family members. This includes senior staff and above in the three branches of government, as well as the military and special government employees with privileged information.
Members of Congress and the Senate should be required to purchase their insurance through the ACA or Medicare if eligible, subjecting them to the same coverage they impose on the rest of America. Their pay should be stopped whenever federal workers aren't paid. Any absence from Congressional or Senate votes should result in financial penalties.
Anti-CorruptionAmerican leadership in AI and Technology is a national security issue.
It is vital that the federal government encourage innovation while creating an industry-led regulatory framework to address safety concerns. It is also essential to advance Universal Basic Income to manage the major impending labor market dislocations caused by automation.
The United States must invest in energy production — including Small Modular Reactors — to support the infrastructure demands of AI, while pursuing regulatory reform that does not discriminate against startup labs.
A standing industry roundtable should be created to inform AI safety legislation and ensure that policymakers are hearing directly from the people building the technology.
AI | National SecurityWhile the US-Mexico border has been secured, America’s fentanyl crisis continues and her streets are still not safe.
The federal government must take a more active role in cracking down on criminal organizations by passing stricter laws that punish crimes against public safety.
Federal funding for local law enforcement should be restored in areas with complex crime patterns, while deeper collaboration across federal agencies works to eradicate organized crime. At the same time, federal legislation should be advanced to address fraud against consumers and businesses, ensuring that economic crimes are treated with the same seriousness as violent ones.
A Safer AmericaThe American immigration system has been broken for decades and needs comprehensive reform.
Individuals who have been in the United States for ten years and have not committed any crimes should be eligible for naturalization without the ability to vote or receive entitlements. I will protect DACA recipients. Inhumane ICE tactics must be stopped in American cities.
H-1B visas should be made more available provided that native workers are not being displaced in the process. Seasonal work visa programs should also be expanded with stronger protections for migrant workers, ensuring that the people who come here to work are treated with dignity and fairness.
