PolicyDownpayment Toward Equity Act of 2025The Downpayment Toward Equity Act is a federal bill that would help first-time homebuyers — especially those from communities that have faced barriers to homeownership — with money for a down payment so they can buy their first home.

PolicyRetirement Savings for EveryoneThis federal bill creates a retirement savings plan for all workers, even if your job does not offer one. It helps make sure you and your family can save money for when you are older and ready to stop working.

PolicyInvesting in Public SchoolsThis federal bill would send more money to public schools so they can buy better supplies, support teachers, and fix up school buildings. This could mean better classrooms for you and your family.
