Alan’s Plan to Put People Before Politics: » Address the spike in unemployment through a Federal Jobs Guarantee including expanding AmeriCorps and providing Emergency Wage Support to save small businesses and keep people on the payroll. » Support a Green New Deal to combat Climate Change by accelerating a just transition away from fossil fuels and create millions of clean energy jobs.
People Before Politics: Alan Khazei’s Plan for Seekonk
» Support small businesses by proposing a small business hiring credit and accelerated depreciation of capital investment for small businesses that hire new workers. Dedicate funding streams to help further support women, minority, and veteran owned small businesses.
» Work to pass his Restore the Dream Account proposal, paid for by the Estate Tax, providing every young person who serves our country for one year with an account worth $50,000 to achieve the American Dream. » Pass “Medicare for All Who Want It,” providing a strong public option for affordable healthcare without eliminating the ability to keep private insurance.

Alan Khazei is not a politician - he is a movement leader who co-founded City Year and led the national service movement to launch, protect and grow AmeriCorps. Alan is ready on Day One to lead the effort in Congress to protect our environment, ensure affordable healthcare for all, stop gun violence, address racial injustice and restore the American Dream for working families.
Alan’s Plan for Seekonk was built by listening to the people of Seekonk. In Congress, Alan will: Support the Common Sense Housing Investment Act, increasing funding for housing programs through reforms to the mortgage interest tax deduction. Explore new housing options for the elderly wishing to stay in their communities by giving grants to select local housing authorities to test new approaches. Address education funding challenges by passing the Heroes Act in Congress to secure $5,168,046 in funding for Seekonk - enough to prevent major cuts to school budgets. Create a Seekonk Congressional Advisory Board to stay connected to the local issues in Seekonk and ensure stakeholder voices are heard in Washington.
