Helping the Middle Class
Senator Elizabeth Warren came to politics from academia and a middle class background. She was an expert in bankruptcy law, and she became very interested in the question of why families declare bankruptcy and how certain regulations and the lack thereof affect working families and the ability of the American family to get ahead. Her recent legislation helping the middle class includes a bill to create millions of units of new housing and also boost homeownership in minority communities. As president, Warren would work to help support and empower the middle class.
Reforming Wall Street
As someone who has seen America's economic inequality, Warren vows to level the playing field by reforming Wall Street. The widening inequality is a result of corporate interests and the ultra-rich getting Republicans in Washington to either pass thin regulations or weaken regulations that benefit them at the expense of others — working people and people who don't have as much money. Warren wrote legislation such as the anti-corruption bill that bans lobbying by ex-lawmakers and the accountable capitalism bill that would require corporations to let their workers appoint some board seats.
Education
As a former teacher, Warren understands the importance and impact of education. She wants to fix America's broken education system. Throughout her time in Congress, Warren committed herself to reform education by participating in the Senate education committee and signing bills including the College for All Act which would make tuition at four-year colleges free for families earning up to $125,000 a year and would make community college free for everyone.
