What is Paige Cognetti's platform on affordability and jobs?
Paige Cognetti's affordability agenda targets the structural forces driving up costs: breaking up corporate monopolies in food retail, healthcare, and housing that reduce competition and raise prices; capping credit card fees and other hidden charges; strengthening union rights so workers earn more; cutting red tape on housing construction; reshoring manufacturing jobs — including defense manufacturing — back to Northeastern Pennsylvania; and routing more federal dollars directly to municipalities rather than through Washington middlemen.
She also opposes broad tariffs that raise consumer prices while doing little for working families, while supporting targeted tariffs that genuinely protect domestic industries.
