PENIAMINA UNVEILS 'FAMILY FIRST' PLAN TO LOWER COSTS, CAP RENT, AND RAISE WAGES

4/24/2026, 3:34:39 PM · Paletuatoa Peniamina · Issue: Family Policy

Lead Paragraph: Democratic presidential nominee Paletuatoa Peniamina today unveiled his comprehensive "Family First" economic plan, promising to lower costs for working families by capping rent increases, raising the minimum wage, and making the wealthy pay their fair share.

Key Quotes:

"You feel it every week. The squeeze. Your rent goes up. Your grocery bill climbs. Your paycheck stays the same. Washington gave tax breaks to billionaires. You got the bill. That ends now."

"My plan is simple. Cap rent increases at 3% or inflation, whichever is lower. Raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour, indexed to inflation. End the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers. Lower prescription drug costs. And make the wealthy pay their fair share."

"Working families built this country. It's time they had a government that fights for them."

Key Policy Points:

Rent Stabilization: Cap annual rent increases at 3% or inflation; ban hidden junk fees.

Raise the Wage: Increase federal minimum wage to $17/hour; end sub-minimum wage for tipped workers.

Prescription Drugs: Cap insulin at $35/month; allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Tax Fairness: Close loopholes for billionaires and corporations; raise corporate tax rate to 25%.
