SOCIAL SECURITY 

Protect and strengthen Social Security by raising the payroll tax cap to $250,000, helping secure benefits for future generations without reducing payments for retirees.

Guarantee affordable health care for every American and ensure that no family is forced into bankruptcy because they got sick.

HEALTH CARE 

SETH'S TOP ISSUES 

HOVER OVER EACH STRIPE TO LEARN MORE.

CHILD CARE

Pass the C.U.B.S Act (Childhood, Unity, Break, Stipend)

Expand affordable child care through a sliding-scale subsidy that helps working families manage one of their largest monthly expenses.

Pass the H.E.A.R.T. Act (Housing Equity & Affordable Residential Titles)

The American Dream starts with homeownership. Large corporations and investment firms now own hundreds of thousands of single-family homes nationwide, driving up prices and reducing inventory for working families. The H.E.A.R.T. Act imposes escalating taxes on large-scale corporate home acquisitions while creating incentives for builders to construct affordable housing for first-time buyers and middle-class families.

This proposal targets Wall Street—not small landlords. Homes should be places where families live, not simply assets traded by corporations.

HOMEOWNERSHIP

The D.O. Initiative (Dependable, Objective)

 

Mental health care is one of America's most overlooked crises. Nearly one in five adults experiences mental health challenges annually, while millions of Americans wait months to see a counselor or therapist. The D.O. Initiative will double America's behavioral health workforce over the next decade through tuition assistance, scholarships, and workforce grants. Our goal is simple: reduce wait times from months to days and ensure that help is available when people need it most. Mental health is health care.

MENTAL HEALTH

STUDENT LOANS

Passing the S.L.I.C.E. Act (Student Loan Ideal Calculation Evaluation)

​

Student debt has become a major obstacle to economic mobility. Millions of Americans delay buying homes, starting families, opening businesses, or saving for retirement because of crushing loan payments. The S.L.I.C.E. Act caps federal student loan interest rates at 3.1% and limits repayment obligations to a manageable percentage of income. Education should create opportunity and not decades of financial suffocation.

REINING IN CORPORATE POWER

CEO Salary Cap

​

Since 1978, CEO compensation has increased nearly 1,500%. Worker pay has not. In the 1970s, the average CEO earned roughly 26 times what a typical worker earned. Today, many CEOs earn nearly 300 times more than the employees who help create that success. Under this proposal, executive compensation would be capped at 150 times the median employee salary. If executives want larger compensation packages, they can earn them the same way everyone else does: by helping their workers succeed. A stronger middle class begins with fairer rewards for work.

EXPANDING INTERNET ACCESS 

Passing the the F.A.I.R. Plan (Functional Accessibility Internet Resource)

​

The internet is no longer a luxury.

Students need it for homework. Businesses need it to compete. Workers need it to earn a living.

The F.A.I.R. Plan treats broadband access as critical infrastructure and establishes a pathway toward affordable nationwide internet service with a target cost of $10 per month.

Just as previous generations built highways, bridges, and rural electrification, our generation must build universal digital access.

Fiscal responsibility should not be partisan.

During President Reagan's second term, the corporate tax rate stood at 26%.

Reagan Redux restores the corporate tax rate to that level, generating hundreds of billions in revenue that can be invested in Social Security, education, health care, veterans services, and programs that strengthen working families.

If 26% worked under Reagan, it can work today.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

VETERANS

Passing the M.A.K.E. Act (Military Access to Key Enamel)

​

America's veterans fulfilled their obligation to our nation. We must fulfill ours to them.

The M.A.K.E. Act provides comprehensive dental coverage through the VA system, recognizing that oral health problems are often linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other serious medical conditions. Too many veterans delay dental treatment because of cost.

Preventative care saves money, improves quality of life, and honors those who served.

Implementing the Triple E Program (Ending Exceptions for Elitism)

​

Too often, wealthy executives use stock compensation and special tax provisions to pay lower effective tax rates than working Americans.

The Triple E Program closes these loopholes by taxing large stock awards when received, requiring executives to take taxable salaries alongside stock compensation, and creating a fair taxation structure for high-value compensation packages.

The tax code should reward work and not privilege.

CLOSING CORPORATE TAX LOOPHOLES

SCHOOL LUNCH

Implementing the F.U.E.L. Initiative (Feeding Universal Education Lunches)

​

No child should struggle to learn because they are hungry.

More than 50 million children attend public schools in America, and for many of them, school meals are their most reliable source of daily nutrition.

The F.U.E.L. Initiative provides universal school lunch for every public-school student in America.

For families, it lowers costs. For students, it improves concentration and academic performance. For America, it is an investment in our future.

Hungry children cannot focus on learning.

Implementing the Florida L.I.F.E. Line (Long-Term Investment For Environmental Excellence)

​

Clean water is not optional. Florida's springs, rivers, and aquifers are among our greatest natural resources, yet many face increasing pressure from overuse, pollution, and aging infrastructure.

The L.I.F.E. Line invests in water conservation, filtration infrastructure, lead pipe replacement, and stronger protections for freshwater resources.

Protecting our water today means protecting future generations tomorrow.
