- Making D.C. Affordable: Implementing a Universal Basic Income (UBI) for working residents to stabilize families and combat the rising cost of living.
- Winning Statehood: Achieving full representation through Retrocession and immediately creating a state government structure modeled on successful systems like Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
