Real progress comes from investing wisely in our people, so everyone benefits. We can’t just focus on raising taxes or cutting spending. It’s about building a system that strengthens our communities, shares opportunities, and unites us for a better future.

We believe government isn’t always the problem. When it works efficiently, alongside a strong economy, it helps us all thrive. By investing in each other and building cooperation, we can create a more resilient nation where success is shared by everyone.

The Center Solutions Party does not support raising the retirement age. We know the rising cost of healthcare is a big challenge, but every challenge is also a chance to make life better for our people.

As more Americans live longer, there will be a growing need for government spending on quality healthcare. This gives the United States a chance to build assets and create jobs that strengthen and expand our healthcare industry. While we don't support nationalized healthcare, we do believe the government should play an important role in making healthcare better and more affordable.

With the right policies, we can grow our economy to meet these challenges while also making our healthcare system more efficient. In the long term, improving our immigration and education systems will help us address our shortage of doctors and nurses. We must be proactive in reshaping the policies that have led to fewer medical providers and higher costs.

In the short term, we will focus on lowering costs that hurt families the most, like prescription drugs, insurance premiums, and out-of-pocket expenses. Transparency and offering people real choices will make our healthcare system more efficient.

We will also expand home health care, which costs less and allows more seniors to age at home, comfortably and independently. We are committed to ensuring that every American can age with dignity, respect, and with access to the care they deserve.

The Center Solutions Party is committed to supporting families by raising the income limits for married couples and removing marriage penalties in public assistance programs. These changes will help encourage people to start a family and they will create broader economic benefits that reduce the need for government intervention.

While we honor the dedication of those who parent alone, and pledge to continue providing all current benefits to single-parent households, we also need to think carefully about how our tax system shapes decisions. Financially discouraging family formation has contributed to intergenerational poverty and increased reliance on government assistance.

We believe the American family should represent a decent home, a caring community, and a safe environment to raise children. By reducing financial barriers, we can help more families reach these goals and build a stronger, more resilient future for everyone.

Faith in Our Courts

The Center Solutions Party believes that faith in our courts is essential for a strong nation. Courts must stay free from political influence and be dedicated to serving justice for everyone.

We will appoint judges who respect judicial independence and who consider the impartiality of the court as very important. We encourage public officials to actively help people trust the justice system.

Election Integrity

A thriving democracy relies on people’s confidence in their elections. We support locally run elections, empowering communities to make their voices heard. Any disputes should be settled by state courts under state law, with federal courts stepping in only in rare cases. Congress should honor the decisions made at the state level.

We are against replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote because this would further marginalize many of the diverse communities that make up our nation. We stand by secure mail-in voting and we believe that protecting early voting is essential for our elections.

Administrative Law

We believe that making laws should be the job of those elected by the people. By limiting the power of federal agencies, we can ensure that lawmakers, who are responsible to their communities, are the ones shaping the laws. We support candidates who are committed to crafting detailed policies that reflect the needs of the people.

Today, too many Americans struggle to achieve economic independence because of high housing costs. This issue disproportionately impacts vulnerable groups such as low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. The Center Solutions Party believes that every American deserves access to a safe and affordable home, and we must ensure that housing is within reach for those who need it most.

Responsible government action is now essential to quickly increase our national housing supply. Our plan connects affordable housing with rural development, focusing on supply-side investments that help families transition from renting to owning homes. We will expand existing U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs to build 3 million weatherized single-family homes in rural areas over five years. This initiative will prioritize buyers who are purchasing their primary residence and it will offer down payment assistance and reduced interest rates to qualified buyers with limited income and assets.

We believe that the government must temporarily take on a larger role, but this role should focus on investing wisely in housing assets, rather than just continually stimulating demand.

Sound policies are needed to encourage responsible homeownership and drive economic growth. By investing in affordable housing, we will create jobs and indirectly support many industries nationwide. Together, we can strengthen the housing market and give millions of Americans a pathway to greater economic freedom and security.

The Center Solutions Party is committed to building an economy that can once again support a balanced federal budget. We aim to focus on what really matters: the productivity of our national debt and how it can strengthen our economy over time.

We do not believe that making drastic cuts to the national debt in the short term is the answer. Rapid reductions would only slow down economic activity and cause more harm than good. Instead, our goal is to gradually shift the debt trend downward over time. Just as large companies use financing to grow, we must use budget deficits strategically to fuel investments.

A balanced approach is essential. By combining periods of expansion with careful contraction, we can continually invest in transportation, energy, and other key infrastructure. This goes beyond simply trying to spend less than you earn. We must take action to increase employment and business activity so there is less need to raise taxes or cut vital programs.

While we believe that achieving sustainability will require growth, we also champion many sensible budget reforms. The United States is a strong nation and we must restore confidence by electing leaders who understand the intricacies of these issues and who are willing to work together on solutions that protect our financial future. Working together, we can reshape our economy, restore long-term stability, and ensure that the United States remains an economic powerhouse for generations to come.

America’s agricultural system is a global leader, and its success has always been built on the hard work and innovation of our farmers. Helping our farmers compete in international markets must be at the heart of any plan for future growth. At the Center Solutions Party, we believe in empowering farmers to thrive by reconnecting them to the world.

Access to global markets will help farmers grow their businesses and become less reliant on direct government support, but the government can still play a role by maintaining strong food assistance programs for our citizens. This will benefit producers and increase individual economic freedom for our citizens, creating a win-win for both farmers and families.

Agriculture is not just a critical industry, it is one of our country’s greatest assets. We are committed to unlocking its full potential while ensuring that small farmers are not left behind. We also respect the freedom of individual producers and consumers regarding environmental goals. While we care deeply about improving environmental conditions and revitalizing the land, we will never impose rules that limit our farmers' ability to produce the food our nation needs. Together, we can make sure that American agriculture remains a cornerstone of our economy and a source of pride and prosperity for generations to come.

The Center Solutions Party is committed to combating desertification and enhancing the health of our environmental ecosystems on federal lands. Our approach will be cost-effective and focused on solidifying scientific research around the real impacts of regenerative land management practices. Our goal is to shift the climate conversation toward a more holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of preserving and, where necessary, restoring natural ecosystems.

We hope to redefine humanity’s ecological role on earth and promote the idea that we can all be proactive stewards of the land, contributing to a healthier environment together. We believe in a future where protecting our natural world can create jobs for our economy while aligning with the resilience of our planet.

The solution to poverty in a wealthy society is simple: let others handle the tasks we cannot do ourselves. This is called specialization, and it multiplies our productivity by harnessing the skills of different people.

In today’s interconnected world, technology and specialization have greatly increased our output, but they have also led to income concentration and job displacement. Our party’s tax plan addresses these challenges by balancing fair business policies with the need to redistribute income through strong food and housing assistance programs.

Capitalism thrives when those at the bottom have the ability to spend freely. Our strategy creates this dynamic using moderately progressive income taxes rather than relying heavily on corporate earnings. While corporate earnings must be taxed, overtaxing corporations isn’t the answer. We support a corporate tax rate that is competitive with other nations, believing that uncompetitive tax policies only fuel corporate abuses.

Our corporate tax plan is designed to incentivize companies to distribute cash to United States citizens and drive financial flows into the more progressive parts of our tax system, where higher earners pay more while lower earners benefit from largely tax-free capital income. Our overall approach will boost consumption in key markets and provide the broad economic freedom needed to succeed in the global economy.

When we work together, our flexible tax system can be a valuable economic asset. However, no tax system can outperform the society it serves. Our so-called merit-based system is really just a vast network of interdependence. We live better than any humans in recorded history, not solely due to individual merit but because we work together. No single person can rise above this fact.

That’s why we urge our citizens to build strong social bonds and strive to provide valuable services to others. We, the people of the United States, are not wealthy alone but only as members of a wealthy society.

The Center Solutions Party believes that the strength of the United States lies in our ability to work together, both at home and with the world. We recognize the importance of protecting critical industries from foreign competition, but our approach ensures we don’t abandon open and competitive global markets where collaboration benefits everyone.

We believe the best way to shield our citizens from workforce displacement is by building a strong social safety net, not by artificially propping up industries that would otherwise decline. While “Made in America” policies are well-intentioned, they often come with hidden costs that cannot be ignored.

The biggest cost of protectionism is the loss of innovation. Free markets spark creativity and progress, and when we let them thrive, they’re likely to keep making human life longer, easier, and healthier.

Another cost is fairness. Government contracts and subsidies often benefit a select few, usually larger companies, while smaller businesses, the backbone of America, are left behind. This weakens economic freedom and makes our businesses less profitable.

Higher prices are yet another challenge. When we impose restrictions that require domestically supported production, those costs are passed down to the consumer. This reduces household spending power, especially for those earning the least.

We also risk creating industries dependent on government aid, unable to compete globally due to inflated prices and diminished quality. True progress comes from industries that can thrive on their own, not from those needing ongoing support.

In today’s interconnected world, cooperation between nations is key to shared prosperity. Real security doesn’t come from adversarial policies like tariffs and sanctions but from a cooperative, forward-thinking approach. Together, we can build an economy that is resilient, competitive, and that serves everyone.

The Center Solutions Party believes in protecting key industries essential to our national security and well-being, such as agriculture, energy, and defense manufacturing. At the same time, we recognize that trade can be a positive-sum game, benefiting all parties involved.

Even our ancient ancestors, in their struggle for survival, understood that cooperation and exchange were key to mutual benefit. But for trade to work, the cost of exchanging must remain low. When barriers like tariffs are imposed, they disrupt this natural process by raising costs and reducing incentives to trade. Tariffs increase the price of goods, reduce economic efficiency, and divert resources away from more productive uses, ultimately leaving everyone worse off.

We do not support using tariffs as a primary tool to raise government revenue. Such measures hinder the free flow of goods and stifle the growth that comes from cross-border collaboration. Tariffs act as a hidden tax, disproportionately burdening lower-income earners and small businesses. Instead, the most effective way to support families is by lowering their taxes and keeping prices affordable to stimulate demand.

The United States can maintain its competitive edge and create better, higher-paying jobs by focusing on its unique strengths and competitive advantages. By fostering cooperation between business, labor, and government, we can strengthen supply chains and build an economy that works for everyone.

We also support policies that encourage tourism and cultural exchange, recognizing that people-to-people relationships build mutual understanding and foster peace. We stand against divisive rhetoric that seeks to assign blame based on nationality or group identity. Instead, we aim to create a public dialogue that celebrates collaboration and the shared prosperity that comes from working together.

The Center Solutions Party does not view the People’s Republic of China as an adversary. Instead, we believe that by fostering better communication, including military-to-military dialogues, we can build a relationship rooted in mutual understanding and respect.

Rather than treating Taiwan as an asset of the United States, we aim to find a workable compromise that protects the dignity of all parties involved, ensuring that everyone can live in peace and security. By fostering cooperation between the United States, China, and Taiwan, we can work towards a future where we all cooperate for the greater good.

While fierce competition will likely define our relationship with China for decades, we are committed to competing aggressively yet cooperatively. Together, the United States and China can accomplish far more than we ever could apart, sustaining global leadership and shared prosperity for generations to come.

The United States must advance not through confrontational tactics but by working in harmony with evolving economies around the world. Attempts to manipulate trade deals or isolate competitors will only harm us in the long term.

Under Center Solutions Party leadership, the United States will continue to lead the world by fostering innovation and producing goods that people crave across the globe. When great nations unite with a shared mission of prosperity, we can ensure lasting peace and strengthen the bonds that bring us together.

The Center Solutions Party envisions a future where the United States, Canada, and Mexico are more united than ever. In recent history, instead of strengthening our partnership with our closest neighbors, we reinforced divisions and missed out on opportunities for growth in regions that need it most.

Our founders, inspired by economic visionaries like Adam Smith, created a system where freedom and minimal barriers allowed a market to flourish. This design, which led to the success of the United States, is a model for the cooperation we can achieve across North America.

A revitalized partnership is key to staying competitive in a rapidly evolving world. North America should not compete alone; we should grow together into a leading force in global markets.

More cooperation will also help us address security challenges related to organized crime. We firmly believe that shared economic development brings shared security. Together, we can unlock our untapped potential and ensure that the path forward is one of shared prosperity.

The future should not bring isolation and division, but instead collaboration and mutual investment. Through teamwork, we can create meaningful change that benefits everyone.

We believe that the United States still has room to grow. Letting more people legally enter our country is crucial for keeping our economy strong. More immigration means more businesses, more spending, and more opportunity for innovation, all of which help our country thrive.

At the same time, we must address illegal immigration, which can cause serious problems. Our plan includes further increasing border security and stopping criminals who harm both our citizens and vulnerable migrants. We’ll use advanced technology, more personnel, and strategic barriers where needed to keep our communities safe.

We do not support large-scale deportations. Instead, we believe in helping most undocumented workers gain legal status, which will strengthen our economy. However, this only works if we also ensure stronger border security.

By working together, we can create a fair and successful immigration system that helps lead the world toward a better future.

While there’s often debate about energy sources, we believe protecting our power grid is a shared responsibility that deserves more attention. Together, we will invest in modernizing the grid to safeguard against cyberattacks and ensure it stays resilient during extreme weather.

Our priority is ensuring that energy remains reliable and affordable for everyone, no matter what happens in the world. We support the growth of renewable energy, but we also recognize the importance of traditional energy sources.

As technology improves, we’re committed to making decisions that benefit our country as a whole, helping to build a stronger, more secure future for everyone.

While homeownership is important, we also recognize that many Americans value the flexibility and benefits of renting, especially in more densely populated areas. That’s why we are committed to supporting low-income renters, ensuring that everyone who qualifies for assistance gets the help they need without unnecessary delays.

At the Center Solutions Party, we believe rental assistance programs are more than just a safety net for families, they are a key tool for strengthening our economy. When lower-income families can afford stable housing, they have more freedom to make important spending decisions that keep money circulating through our communities and businesses.

By providing affordable rent, we not only help prevent homelessness and build a more inclusive society, but we also give our economy a boost by empowering families to contribute to local economies. By combining smart investments to increase housing supply with programs that support renters, we can create a future where everyone has access to safe, affordable housing.

At the Center Solutions Party, we believe that small farms are the backbone of freedom and they will be even more essential in the future as jobs are lost to automation. However, many small farmers today face enormous challenges due to heavy regulations that make it hard for them to compete.

For too long, policies have favored large corporations, leaving small farms to either expand beyond their means or struggle to survive. This harms competition and puts our food supply at risk by relying too heavily on a few big players.

We are not against large food producers, they play a key role in feeding our country, but we also need to make space for smaller farms to thrive. That’s why it’s time to reduce the regulations that hold small farmers back and create a more resilient agricultural system.

Local food production can be just as safe, and often promotes greater accountability. We trust our citizens to make good choices and we believe that communities should have the right to set their own food safety standards, rather than being forced to follow one-size-fits-all federal rules.

By lifting these burdens, we can restore the freedom to produce food without excessive government interference and give hope to small farmers who have been sidelined for too long. Agriculture should offer everyone the chance to succeed, and we are committed to making sure that opportunity exists for future generations.

At the Center Solutions Party, we believe that families, states, and local communities should have the freedom to choose the kind of education that works best for them. We think the federal government should have a smaller role in public education, letting communities decide what’s best for their students.

We also want to help high school students prepare for the future by giving them the option to learn job skills sooner. By offering trade school programs and work experience in high schools, students can get ready for good jobs faster. This will help young people enter the workforce sooner, reduce student loan debt, and boost the economy. It’s a win for everyone.

We also think college isn’t the best path for everyone. Many students would be better off going straight into the workforce after high school, especially if they’ve already learned useful skills. Instead of sending so many students to college, we support shifting more money to preschools and helping families with affordable childcare. Starting education earlier can make a big difference for young children, setting them up for a brighter future.

We also believe that supporting women in the workplace is one of the best things we can do for our economy. By improving access to childcare, we can make it easier for mothers to succeed at work and at home.

Blame and division have no place in our response to a public health emergency. Instead, we must face these challenges with empathy, respect, and a shared commitment to keeping each other safe.

We believe that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for the United States because our country is vast, and different areas will almost certainly have different needs. That’s why, rather than relying on federal mandates, the federal government’s role should be to provide resources and support to the states.

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that when we come together and make small adjustments, we can slow the spread of illness and reduce the need for strict government measures. Local and state governments, with their knowledge of community needs, are best equipped to make decisions that protect their people.

When it comes to vaccines and other treatments, we believe in respecting people’s decisions while also recognizing that vaccines have been a key tool in protecting public health.

By working together, we can make our communities safer and get through public health emergencies with less disruption to our daily lives.

At the Center Solutions Party, we support criminal justice reforms that focus on mental health, compassion, and rehabilitation, especially for nonviolent offenders. We believe in expanding access to addiction services as an alternative to jail time and we support making it easier for reformed individuals to clear their records so they can find jobs.

We also support automating more traffic violations and increasing the use of body-worn cameras for police accountability.

Our goal is to strengthen trust between police and the communities they serve. Police play a vital role in keeping us safe, and we want to build a culture where law enforcement is respected and trusted.

We believe a fair and compassionate system benefits everyone, no matter their political views. That’s why we will nominate leaders who are ready to work toward these goals.

At the Center Solutions Party, we believe that we can end homelessness in America if we come together and focus on helping those in need. We support policies that provide stable housing without requiring people to be drug-free or have a job first because when someone has a roof over their head they are more likely to rebuild their lives.

Everyone deserves a safe place to live, and we know that people are better able to overcome challenges like addiction and mental illness when their basic needs, like housing, are met. Our plan includes expanding access to housing assistance, helping states coordinate homeless services, and making sure no one is ever punished simply for being unhoused.

Together, we can solve homelessness and build a brighter future for all.

While we recognize that emergency powers are sometimes necessary for swift action, they must come with proper checks and balances. We believe that any emergency powers used by the President should be reviewed and approved by Congress within a set period, such as 90 days. This ensures accountability while still allowing the President to act quickly in times of crisis.

We also support giving Congress a greater role in shaping detailed policies so that executive agencies have less discretion. By limiting the authority of these agencies, we can reduce the power of the executive branch and maintain a more balanced system.

The Constitution was designed to ensure that different branches of government work together. At the Center Solutions Party, we are committed to reforms that protect this balance and strengthen cooperation between the legislative and executive branches.

We believe the country’s banking system is important to our economy, and it should be run by a central bank that is free from political influence. This allows the bank to make smart decisions about money without getting caught up in political arguments.

We support a central bank that makes independent decisions while also working with Congress to keep our economy strong and fair for everyone.
