Washington adopted clean freight standards that push truck makers to sell more zero-emission trucks. The state has paused enforcement until mid-2026 because of federal legal challenges tied to California’s waiver. Winning means Washington keeps the standards in place, funds charging and truck purchases, and is ready to roll out smoothly when enforcement can restart.
In many industries, a few large companies control key markets. That can make it harder for small businesses to compete and can leave shoppers with fewer choices and higher prices. This cause focuses on updating antitrust rules and enforcement so new and local firms can compete on fair terms.
The U.S. is cutting emissions, but not fast enough to meet its climate goals. This cause focuses on reducing greenhouse-gas pollution and speeding up affordable clean energy like solar, wind, and electric vehicles. Winning means stronger federal rules and/or laws that lock in bigger emissions cuts and make clean energy easier to build.
The International Space Station is aging, and the U.S. does not yet have a single, dedicated hub for long-term space research. This cause backs creating a National Institute for Space Research (NISR) to coordinate experiments, partners, and funding as the ISS winds down. Winning means Congress advances and funds the Space RACE Act so U.S. researchers keep reliable access to research in orbit.
Some companies make it easy to sign up but hard to cancel, so charges keep coming. This cause backs “click-to-cancel” standards and stronger enforcement so “cancel anytime” is real. Winning means simple online cancellation and real consequences for companies that use subscription traps.
Southern Resident orcas in Puget Sound are endangered and closely tied to Chinook salmon. Pollution, habitat loss, and vessel noise reduce salmon and add stress to whales. Winning means hitting Washington’s stated target for orca growth and showing measurable progress on salmon, contaminants, and vessel impacts.
BLM plans decide where mining, drilling, grazing, and conservation happen on public lands. This cause focuses on earlier, clearer public access to the data and draft decisions that shape those plans. Winning means Congress includes 2026 bill language that requires BLM to disclose key environmental and cultural analyses before it issues resource-management plans.

Winning means Congress passes a clear increase and broader eligibility rules.
This cause updates U.S. energy and waste rules to match two fast-growing needs: geothermal power and used battery handling. The goal is to speed up geothermal permitting and make battery recycling and disposal safer and more consistent. Winning looks like clearer federal rules that cut long delays and reduce fire and pollution risks from battery waste.
Title VI bars discrimination by groups that receive federal funding, but a 2001 Supreme Court decision limited when private people can sue. Today, many policies that look race-neutral can still cause unequal harm, and people often must rely on federal agencies to step in. Winning means restoring a clear path to address disparate impacts through rules, enforcement, and/or legislation.
Pennsylvania is considering adopting Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) standards. The goal is to cut pollution from medium- and heavy-duty trucks by increasing the share of zero-emission truck sales over time. Winning means Pennsylvania’s Environmental Quality Board adopts the ACT rule and sets it up to start with model year 2028.
Housing costs have risen faster than paychecks, and more people are ending up without a stable place to live. This cause focuses on expanding affordable homes, converting underused buildings into housing, and funding services that help people stay housed. Winning looks like more units coming online and fewer people stuck in chronic homelessness in the places hit hardest.
Henkel is trying to buy Liquid Nails, a top rival in construction adhesives. The FTC has sued to block the $725 million deal, arguing it would reduce competition. Winning means the merger is permanently blocked so prices and choices at hardware stores stay more competitive.
Skilled trades like electrical, plumbing, construction, and advanced manufacturing have major worker shortages. Registered Apprenticeships let people earn wages while they train, but many programs cannot grow without stable funding. Winning means more state and federal dollars that translate into more paid apprenticeship slots and better support to help people finish.
UnitedHealth (through Optum) wants to buy Amedisys, a major home health and hospice provider. Regulators say the deal could cut competition in many local markets, which can mean fewer choices and higher costs for seniors and families. Winning means stopping the merger or, if it moves forward, enforcing strong remedies that protect real competition.
AI is being used to make decisions about people and to watch them, often without clear notice or rules. This cause pushes for transparency so people know when AI affects them, and for firm limits on AI-powered surveillance. Winning means clear disclosure, consent, and enforceable guardrails—especially for government use.
Many forests in eastern Washington have built up too much fuel after decades of putting out most fires. Hotter, drier summers raise the chance that small fires turn into destructive megafires. This cause focuses on funding and scaling proven work like thinning, prescribed fire, and community readiness so fewer fires become disasters.
A few giant tech platforms control key online markets like app stores, search, and social media. This cause pushes for fair rules so dominant platforms cannot tilt the field toward themselves or squeeze rivals and small businesses. Winning means stronger enforcement and clearer guardrails so consumers get more real choices and better prices.
Four Lower Snake River dams make it hard for salmon to reach spawning grounds and return to the ocean. Supporters say removing (breaching) the dams is the most effective way to restore salmon runs while replacing power, irrigation, and shipping services. Winning means a federal plan and timeline to breach the dams, plus funded replacement infrastructure and shared decision-making with Tribes.
The U.S. discovers many new medicines, but often cannot make them at large scale at home. This cause supports creating a national Biopharmaceutical Center of Excellence to improve drug manufacturing, train workers, and reduce shortages. Winning means Congress advances and funds the Biomanufacturing Excellence Act so a pilot center can launch.
Members of Congress can buy and sell individual stocks while writing laws that affect those companies. This cause backs a clear ban that requires members to sell those stocks or use a qualified blind trust. It also aims to cover spouses and dependents.
Oil and gas leasing on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands can put wildlife habitat, clean water, and culturally important places at risk. This cause focuses on keeping new oil and gas leases out of the most sensitive BLM areas and defending conservation-focused land plans from being overturned. Winning means conservation plans stay in force and sensitive areas avoid new leasing.
Medical debt and unexpected bills can still hit people after a hospital visit. The No Surprises Act has reduced many surprise bills, but enforcement problems and loopholes—like ground ambulance charges—still leave families exposed. Winning means stronger enforcement plus practical debt-relief programs that prevent long-term financial damage from getting care.
U.S.-made weapons have been used in wars and crackdowns by governments accused of serious abuses. This cause pushes for stronger oversight and clear human-rights limits on U.S. arms exports. Winning means passing at least one law that restricts sales to countries with poor human-rights records within 24 months.
Many governments are jailing activists, silencing journalists, and undermining elections. This cause focuses on practical ways democracies can respond, especially through U.S. aid and trade policy. Winning looks like putting clear human-rights conditions into real agreements, not just statements.
Medicare Advantage now covers over half of Medicare beneficiaries, but audits and investigations have found wrongful denials and misleading marketing. This cause focuses on stronger enforcement so plans follow Medicare rules and seniors get timely, medically necessary care. Winning means fewer rule violations and fewer improper denials within a clear timeline.
Inflation has raised the cost of basics like rent, food, and gas, and many households say their budgets are worse. This cause focuses on policies that bring inflation back down while easing pressure on everyday expenses. Winning looks like lower annual inflation and real relief on grocery, rent, and energy costs.
Right now, Pell Grants usually can’t pay for short job-training programs. Workforce Pell would let Pell cover high-quality short-term credentials so more people can train quickly for in-demand work. Winning means the Department of Education finalizes the rules and the program launches by July 2026.
Synthetic food dyes add color, not nutrition, and some raise safety concerns. The FDA has moved to revoke authorization for Red No. 3 based on evidence it can cause cancer in laboratory animals. The goal is faster federal review plus strong school and state standards that cut kids’ everyday exposure.
Congress mostly investigates its own members for misconduct, which can lead to weak accountability. This cause focuses on protecting and increasing funding for independent ethics oversight so investigations have the staff, time, and tools to be credible. Winning looks like ethics offices that can investigate complaints without being quietly weakened or starved of resources.
Myanmar’s military has used imported weapons and jet fuel to carry out airstrikes and other attacks on civilians since the 2021 coup. This cause pushes for an international arms embargo, including a ban on aviation fuel, to reduce the military’s ability to keep attacking people. Winning looks like coordinated action that blocks arms and fuel transfers and tightens enforcement.
Implanted medical devices collect important health data, but many patients can’t directly access it. The goal is to guarantee that patients can request and receive the patient-specific data their device records. Winning means passing the Patient Device Data Access Act and setting a clear expectation that device makers must share this data with patients.
PFAS are long-lasting chemicals used to repel oil and water in many everyday products. They can build up in people and the environment over time, and some exposures are linked to serious health risks. The goal is to phase out and ban intentionally added PFAS in consumer products, while tightening drinking-water protections and holding polluters accountable.
State clean truck standards cut diesel pollution by phasing in zero-emission trucks. In 2025, Congress used the Congressional Review Act to try to cancel EPA waivers that let California and other states set stronger rules. Winning means the waivers stand, and states can keep enforcing clean truck standards.
Broad import tariffs can raise prices for everyday goods, which adds to inflation. This cause focuses on rolling back tariffs that are linked to higher consumer costs, while keeping the focus on targeted, practical changes. Winning means Congress reviews and repeals specific tariffs and delivers at least three reductions within 18 months.
Some synthetic food additives are restricted or banned in Europe but still allowed in the U.S. They can show up in everyday packaged foods and even school meals. This cause aims to remove the highest-concern additives through state laws, FDA action, and a clear national standard.
AI is spreading fast, but the U.S. still lacks one clear set of national rules. This cause pushes for a federal framework that makes AI systems more transparent, accountable, and fair. Winning means Congress passes strong, enforceable guardrails that reduce bias, protect privacy, and improve safety.
Many colleges do not clearly report antisemitic and other bias incidents, or how they respond. This cause pushes schools that receive federal funds to publicly share consistent data on complaints and outcomes. Winning looks like simple, public reporting that helps students, families, and leaders see problems early and track whether campuses act.
Social Security helps about 70 million Americans, but benefits can lose ground when prices rise. This cause focuses on protecting full yearly cost-of-living increases (COLA) and preventing future benefit cuts tied to trust fund shortfalls. Winning means Congress passes a bill like H.B. 6079 within 12 months to lock in accurate COLAs and protect scheduled benefits.
