Creating good-paying jobs and supporting small businesses to strengthen South Jersey's economy.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · mullockforcongress.com
Today we are living with more income and wealth inequality than we have ever had in the history of our country. 93% of our nation's wealth is owned by the top 1%. To grow the middle class, we must have a fair tax system that holds corporations and the wealthiest accountable while removing corporate greed and corruption from our economy.
I Will Fight To: ↗ (opens mullockforcongress.com/issues at this heading)
- Fight the largest wealth transfer in American history that takes from those most in need to give tax breaks to the richest
- Champion consumers and small businesses—if 70% of our economy is consumer spending, why are consumers paying 20+% credit card interest?
- End no-tax giveaways to multibillion-dollar multinational companies while they avoid school taxes and road taxes
- Support small businesses that create 9 out of 10 net new jobs annually—South Jersey is built by small business

Fighting for affordable healthcare and lowering prescription drug costs for every family.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · mullockforcongress.com
In the richest nation in the world, healthcare should be a right. Every other developed nation has universal healthcare yet spends far less than we do. Our healthcare system, if run as a business, would be the worst-run business in American history. It's time for serious change.
I Will Fight To: ↗ (opens mullockforcongress.com/issues at this heading)
- Support Medicare for All funded by fairer corporate taxes and a fair tax on the top 5%
- Combat corporate greed that drives up costs while delivering worse outcomes
- Expand Medicare's power to negotiate drug prices beyond the current 10–15 products per year
- Expand access to mental health services for all Americans

Working families shouldn't have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. The housing crisis has been fueled by corporate greed and Wall Street speculation, pricing out the very families who built our communities.
I Will Fight To: ↗ (opens mullockforcongress.com/issues at this heading)

No other issues matter if we do not protect our environment. As Congressman, science and mathematics will determine policy—not politics and special interests. We have accomplished massive national projects before that brought us out of the Great Depression and helped create the middle class. We can do it again.
I Will Fight To: ↗ (opens mullockforcongress.com/issues at this heading)
- Go full speed on solar energy—install solar on any and all acceptable homes and businesses at cost and massive scale

- Fund smart infrastructure that protects our communities from climate impacts
- Push for federal incentives for energy-efficient homes and businesses in CD-2

- Protect our beaches, wetlands, and fishing industry for future generations

Not enough people are talking about the major damage being caused to vital alliances around the world. Both of my grandfathers fought proudly against fascism and for our democratic allies in WWII.

I believe in American ingenuity—give it the tools and we are the envy of the world.
I Will Fight To: ↗ (opens mullockforcongress.com/issues at this heading)

As Mayor, public safety is #1. I completely support our First Responders. Both our Police Officers and Firefighters know and love our community, and they put their lives on the line every day.

Our democracy should work for the people, not wealthy special interests and corporate donors. The rigged tax system and policies that favor the wealthy are the direct result of money corrupting our political process.

- Overturn Citizens United and end unlimited dark money in elections
- Support public financing of elections
- Ban members of Congress from trading stocks

For too long, our tax system has been rigged to benefit billionaires, giant corporations, and Wall Street insiders while working families pay more and get less. That is not an accident—it is the result of decades of political choices. As a Democrat in Congress, I am fighting to make a different choice: a fair, progressive tax system that asks those who have gained the most from our economy to finally pay their fair share.
This plan is guided by a simple principle: no one who works for a living should pay a higher effective tax rate than a billionaire who lives off wealth.
