Rent went up. Housing is unaffordable. Gas prices are through the roof. Healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. Our gas and grocery bills are higher than ever, and nobody asked you first. Nobody explained why this was happening. You just got the bill, and somebody else got richer for it. So starting on day one, every decision I make will come down to one question. Who will pay the price for this decision? And if the answer is you, I'm going to fight it. Because we have been picking up their tab for far too long. It's time that we fight for you.
