14 proposals in this category.

• Energy and Climate 3 proposals

  This area covers how the United States produces and moves energy, what that emits, and the federal rules that shape both — emission standards, subsidies, permitting, and the transmission grid. It does not cover consumer transport choices, industrial policy for manufacturing, or adaptation to climate damage already locked in.

• Gambling and Betting 3 proposals

  This area covers what Americans may stake money on and under whose rules — sports betting, online casino games, and the newer contracts that pay out on an outcome without being called gambling. It does not cover state lotteries, the tribal gaming compacts, or ordinary securities trading.

• Technology and Platform Regulation 4 proposals

  This area covers the rules that apply to online platforms, the advertising they sell, and the artificial intelligence products they put in front of the public — who may hold an account, what a platform owes for content it publishes for money, and what an AI system must do before a child can talk to it. It does not cover competition policy, broadband infrastructure, or copyright.

• Work, Wages and Family Leave 4 proposals

  This area covers what a job has to pay and what it has to come with — the federal wage floor, the leave an employer owes, and the public support that decides whether a parent can take a job at all. It does not cover retirement and Social Security, health coverage, or the immigration rules that shape who is available to work.
