2026 Priorities and Upcoming Events
Our focus this year is on advancing commonsense, effective solutions for effective governing including to lower costs and make government work better for everyday families.

Today’s challenges call for practical solutions.
Right now, the need for immediate, practical solutions has never been more urgent. Across the country, families are being squeezed — by grocery bills, rent, health care costs, and utilities that keep climbing while paychecks don't. Affordability isn't an abstraction. It's the lived reality of millions of hardworking Americans who need Washington to take action and enact pro-growth economic policies that benefit American families.
