Working families throughout Western Massachusetts are struggling and they have their Congressman to blame. In 36 years in Congress, Richard Neal has supported trade agreements that have shipped manufacturing jobs overseas, like supporting China in the World Trade Organization (WTO), costing our district thousands of jobs and forcing local manufacturing plants to shut down. As a result, China ramped up extraordinary production, take out huge swaths of American manufacturing. He’s protected greedy corporations from being held accountable while taking their money, accepting the most contributions from big corporations and special interests of any member of the House of Representatives. And he consistently votes to increase spending and waste tax dollars, including sending billions of taxpayer dollars overseas, driving up inflation and increasing costs for working families.

It’s time the working families of the 1^st District had an ally in Washington. That’s why Nadia Milleron is running for Congress.

Nadia will push for manufacturing to return back to the United States, creating high-paying jobs in our district and growing our economy. She will advocate for fair trade deals that put American workers first. She will support a universal 10% tariff on all imported goods, which would create an estimated 2.8 million new American jobs, while dedicating all resulting revenue to tax cuts for lower- and middle-income households—an estimated $263 billion tax cut. And she will fight to close the de minimis loophole, which allows more than 3 million international packages to flood the country per day without paying U.S. duties, taxes, and fees.

Nadia will also work to lower the cost-of-living for working families who are struggling to afford necessities like groceries, gas, and health care. She has been fighting corporate greed for years and will take that fight to Congress to join the bipartisan efforts to stop price gouging. She will work towards fair pricing of food and essential goods, holding corporations accountable. She will fight to close corporate tax loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying billions of dollars in taxes, revenues she would use to lower health care costs for families. She will support increasing taxes on millionaires to protect Social Security benefits for seniors. And she will vote against spending taxpayer money on foreign wars.

Finally, with too few able to afford the American Dream of owning their own home, Nadia will work to increase housing accessibility and affordability. Nearly half of young adults under 30 are forced to live at home because they can’t afford to move out, while the U.S. faces a housing shortage of over 4 million homes. She will advocate for federal funding and incentives to develop affordable housing projects in the 1^st District. She will promote policies that make homeownership more accessible, including federal tax incentives for first-time homebuyers. And she will advocate for increased funding for homelessness prevention programs.
