He’s proposing capping annual property value increases for tax purposes and requiring two-thirds citizen approval for tax hikes to shift public school funding from local property taxes to the state. On healthcare, he’s unveiling a new insurance option to slash premiums for families and small businesses. To tackle housing shortages, he wants to cut red tape and speed up construction. For students, he’s pushing summer class discounts and three-year degree programs to reduce costs and graduation time. All these moves are being prepped now to hit the ground running in 2027.
