Progressive tax policies and a billionaire tax to make the wealthy pay their fair share and fund the priorities above.
Washington cuts Medicaid and SNAP while billionaires get tax breaks. Angela supports a federal wealth tax to make the ultra-rich pay their fair share and fund housing, healthcare, and education for the rest of us.

Make the wealthy pay their fair share.
Washington is cutting Medicaid and SNAP while billionaires get tax breaks. The American people, across all parties and backgrounds, agrees this has to change — a 2025 Harris Poll found 71% of respondents support a billionaire tax.
- Support a federal wealth tax on the ultra-rich. Angela will support Bernie Sanders’ and Ro Khanna’s Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act.
- Fund housing, healthcare, education, and climate resilience with the revenue
- Californians should vote Yes on Prop 40 this November; the one-time 5% billionaire tax that will help fund hospitals, food assistant programs, and public education across the state.

Heading as listed on angela4congress.com/issues ↗ (opens angela4congress.com/issues at this heading)
Democracy should answer to voters, not donors. Angela refuses corporate PAC and Super PAC money, and she's fighting to abolish Super PACs, overturn Citizens United, and ban utilities and major government contractors from bankrolling the campaigns of the officials who oversee their contracts.

Democracy should answer to voters, not donors.
Super PACs poured $2.6 billion into the 2024 elections, and twice as much of that money was used to attack Democratic candidates as Republican ones. Angela's campaign is powered by everyday Angelenos — not AIPAC, crypto, or Big Tech. In Congress, she'll fight to end the era of billionaires buying elections.
- Support legislation to abolish Super PACs by capping their donations at $5,000, the same limit as regular PACs
- Refuse corporate PAC and Super PAC money
- Push for a binding, enforceable ethics code for elected officials and the courts

Heading as listed on angela4congress.com/issues ↗ (opens angela4congress.com/issues at this heading)
Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Angela will co-sponsor Medicare for All, cancel medical debt, break up the healthcare monopolies driving up costs, and invest in local clinics and mental health care that serve everyone, regardless of status or income.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · angela4congress.com/issues
Healthcare is a human right — not a privilege reserved for the wealthy or well-connected. In CA-34, too many people are forced to skip doctor visits, ration prescriptions, or avoid care altogether because they simply can't afford it. Angela is fighting for a healthcare system that works for everyone — no premiums, no copays, no exclusions based on income, immigration status, or employment.
- CA-34's uninsured rate is 15.6%, well above the national average of 9.8%
