Stanton, New Democrat Coalition Unveil Forward-Looking ‘Affordability Agenda’ Answer to Cost of Living Crisis

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) joined other leadership members of the New Democrat Coalition to unveil their Affordability Agenda, a policy roadmap to help make life more affordable for Americans by focusing on lowering the five core costs that are too high for hardworking people: health care, housing, energy, family care, and household essentials like groceries. “Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to end inflation and make life more affordable for working families. In fact, he’s made things worse: his trade war is raising prices on everything from groceries to housing, and Congressional Republicans sent health coverage costs skyrocketing for tens of millions of Americans,” said Rep. Stanton. “The New Dems Affordability Agenda doesn’t just undo Trump’s economic sabotage, it offers bold solutions to the biggest pressures families face. This forward-looking plan brings the American dream back within reach for Arizona families.”
