U.S. Representative, District 15

Robert speaks with members of the American Postal Workers Union about his priorities, including protecting Social Security, Medicare for All, Vote by Mail, protecting people and the environment, and opposing data centers when communities don’t want them.

We have proven time and time again that we have the capacity to support Medicare For All, and there has been enough "kicking this can down the road." Robert will support universal healthcare to ensure that our citizens receive the healthcare they need without being financially drained just to pay for medication(s), forcing them to decide between paying a bill or receiving, in many cases, life-saving medicines. Our citizens should not have to decide to essentially die due to the inflated costs of medications that they can no longer afford, and whoever is benefiting from these astronomical costs needs to be held accountable as well. Enough of pretending we do not know that is happening.

This bill was passed on July 3, 2025, and signed on July 4, 2025. This is a horrible bill, to say the least. Millions will lose healthcare coverage and SNAP benefits. Our national debt will rise by nearly $3.5 trillion. There will be limits to overtime and tips deductions. And this is just the start. If this has not taken place by the time Robert is in office in 2027, his goal here would be to propose legislation to amend and/or repeal this bill.

Robert will propose raising the Social Security tax cap. According to http://pgpf.org , in 2025, the Social Security tax cap was set at $176,100, which is an increase of $7,500 more than in 2024.
