The American Dream has been sold to the highest bidder and we are left to pay the price. Cheyenne is dedicated to fighting for working Californians, not big corporations. She will hold corporations accountable for cheating working families. Her focus is on establishing a fair tax system, ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share, and reducing the burden on working families. With prices rising, Cheyenne is committed to keeping more money in your pockets. Cheyenne will work to lower costs for essential goods and increase opportunities for our communities. In Congress, she will push for a living minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, and affordable child care. The lack of political representation of everyday Americans has empowered the insider class to dictate political and economic policy.
 
Corporations continue to make record profits yet pay little to no taxes to contribute to the growth of the overall economy. Moreover, the top one percent of individuals often pay lower tax rates than working families due to loopholes and other unfair tax codes. A functioning economy cannot develop in an unjust system where the wealthiest Americans can avoid paying like everyone else. Cheyenne is addressing these problems in the economy with bold and practical solutions that work for everyone, so we can build back the American Dream.
