Economy
Access to the American Dream is a promise that must be available to every single person in our nation. Congressman Goldman is committed to fulfilling this promise by raising wages, protecting and expanding the right to unionize in the workplace, and making sure our economy delivers for working families, not just the wealthy and well-connected. To increase opportunity for all, families must also have access to universal child care, affordable health care, affordable housing, and paid family leave. Congressman Goldman is fighting for progressive tax policies to ensure that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share so that we can make these critical investments.
Congressman Goldman is a member of the Labor Caucus.
