New progressive sheriffs in town ready to fight for Main Street

Andy Green writes about the progressive priorities of the House of Representatives in 2019.

  • Protecting democracy from corruption;
  • raising wages;
  • rebuilding America’s infrastructure;
  • combating climate change;
  • bringing down high prescription drug prices;
  • restoring civil rights;
  • combating the deconstruction of government;
  • reviving antitrust;
  • securing financial stability;
  • combating the threat of recession:

These are just a few of the refreshing new priorities that the U.S. House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and a bold new freshman class are bringing to Washington, D.C.
