SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Washington should help communities thrive and support local solutions.
Ensure fair competition so local businesses can survive.
Use antitrust enforcement, tax reform, and fair regulations so small businesses are not undercut by monopolies and corporate giants.
Fix federal grant processes so every community can compete.
Simplify applications and provide technical help so every community, even those with limited staff, can access funding.
Launch a comprehensive revitalization program for struggling areas.
Invest in infrastructure, workforce development, and small business support to rebuild local economies and opportunity.
Support local media through cooperative grants.
Fund local and community owned news organizations so local reporting survives, and residents stay informed about issues impacting their communities.
Return decision-making power to local communities.
Give towns and counties more flexibility in federal programs so solutions can reflect local needs instead of one-size-fits all rules.
