Gun ControlEvery day, at least 100 Americans are shot and killed, and 200 are shot and wounded. With the recent media coverage on mass shootings, it is becoming even more apparent that we need stricter reforms on guns.
Cayleigh Nelson is calling for strict background checks across all gun sales, including a mental health evaluation by a licensed professional and required training courses, effectively closing the "gun show" loophole. Cayleigh Nelson supports a ban on assault weapons, and requiring gun owners to register their guns, Further, domestic abusers will not be eligible to purchase guns, and must turn over guns they own following their conviction. |
Environmental JusticeClimate change is a real threat to our world and we are running out of time. Fast. This is why Cayleigh Nelson has ideas that will be put into effect immediately. On her first day in office, Cayleigh will have the US rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement that 195 countries are already apart of.
Cayleigh will also pave a path to achieve a 100% clean energy economy and zero-carbon emissions by 2035 by demanding Congressional action in the her first year in office. She will also provide subsidies through the EPA and Department of Energy to renewable source-making companies, such as wind, solar, and geothermal. |
Eliminate the Wage GapOn her first day, Cayleigh Nelson will sign an executive order requiring that the federal government pay men and women the same for the same job, and she will mandate to states to do the same. Cayleigh will also refuse to give contracts to any company with a poor record of equal pay and lack of diversity. Cayleigh will also submit a bill to Congress that states that companies must pay men and women the same for the same job, No exeptions.

Increasing Minimum WageStudies show that increasing the minimum wage of all workers creates a strong economy. Increasing the minimum wage to $15/hr will give employees more money in the bank and more money in their pockets to spend in the economy. That's money going into small businesses. That's money going into paying back loans even faster. That's money going into stimulating new, economic growth. The list goes on and on. Cayleigh Nelson will require federal contractors to pay their employees at least $15/hr, and companies with a gigantic gap between the pay of their minimum wage workers and CEO will face high corporate tax rates to encourage them to get on the right side of history and give employees money they deserve. Cayleigh will also submit a bill to Congress that raises the minimum wage to $15/hr and require a revisitation to the amount of the minimum wage every 10 years in order to adjust it to inflation, which should of been required in the first place.

Refocus Government SpendingMoney is being wasted everyday through overspending on things that don't always help the American people. Subsidies to oil and gas companies to pollute our Earth, $934 billion to the military, but only $70 billion to educating our children? Cayleigh Nelson knows this is wrong and is prepared to make a budget that actually works for the American people. She will increase spending into education so our children our successful in any path they take. She will expand Social Security to start at 60 so more Americans have money in their savings. She will add more money to the Housing and Urban Development's programs so the government can build more affordable housing units. This spending will stimulate American growth and create a government that works for all.

LGBTQ+ RightsCayleigh has been a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community for years, and she will continue to do so in her presidency. She supports the passage of the Equality Act and will immediately sign it into law, which will prohibit companies from firing employees based on gender identity and sexual orientation. She will also sign an executive order that will ban discrimination in housing and adoption for LGBTQ families. Cayleigh also supports a ban on conversion therapy and will demand Congress puts legislation on her desk that states a ban on the barbaric therapy in her first 100 days, which will save hundreds of LGBTQ members from torture for being themselves.

Fund Planned ParenthoodCayleigh believes that women, like herself, should be able to make decisions involving their own bodies. She supports the funding of Planned Parenthood, which does far more than provide abortions. Planned Parenthood provides cancer screenings, STD testings, infertility counseling, and birth control. Cayleigh believes these are vital sources for all women to have if and when they need them, She supports an increase in Title X Family Planning funding to Planned Parenthood, which will save countless lives. As a pro-choice candidate, Cayleigh will fight for the funding of Planned Parenthood throughout her entire presidency.
