Key Issues
Matthew Levine is passionately committed to addressing key issues that impact the lives of the people in Missouri and across the United States. His vision encompasses a fair and nondiscriminatory education, a more prosperous economy, and a better healthcare system for all Americans.
Healthcare For All
Matthew Levine plans to fight for the right of all Americans to have the best possible healthcare. He aims to strengthen the insurance marketplace, expand financial assistance, and address affordability issues. His plans include considering state-level innovation, tax credits, and ensuring pre-existing condition protections. One in five Missourians rely on Medicaid, however, Congress in pushing for cuts that would gut rural care and offers tax breaks to the wealthy. Hospitals are closing all across the state, and in some parts of our 6th district, families are driving anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour just to find a hospital bed. We need to strengthen Medicaid and not cut it. We need to invest in rural healthcare so families can grow and age along with the communities they love. Healthcare access should not depend on their zip code.
Women deserve the right to choose what happens to their own body. That is just plain and simple. Politicians should not be the ones to decide how a woman lives. It is truly absurd that the will of the people is being ignored, and the politicians in both Missouri and Washington D.C. should just let the people decide for themselves.
Fair and Nondiscriminatory Education
Matthew Levine believes that education in the United States must be improved to support greater economic mobility. He supports scaling up effective tutoring models through national service programs, fellowships, volunteers, and high-quality virtual tutoring. He also advocates for free breakfast and lunch for all students regardless of income, and ensuring opportunities to combine college preparatory academics with technical training and workplace experience to prepare students for the jobs of the future.
A More Prosperous Economy
Matthew Levine proposes an economic plan that stops billionaire tax breaks and promotes fair and equitable taxes for all Americans. He aims to avoid raising taxes for the less fortunate and instead focus on helping middle-class Americans, who make up a majority of the population, to stimulate economic growth.
Agriculture & Rural Communities
Missouri farmers pride themselves on feeding the world. However, too many of them are being squeezed by Congress and the inflation they are causing. It is getting harder and harder for our farmers to break even with the trade policies flipping back and forth and America's export programs stalling. I believe in free and smart trading, not just bailouts. We need policies that put small and family-run farms first, and with the right support, rural America can once again thrive!
LGBTQA+ Rights
Everyone in America deserves to live freely and equally per our Constitutional rights. There is absolutely no exceptions. I believe whole heartedly that a true government is to protects those rights. We should not be policing who people. Who someone loves, how they identify, or how people present themselves is entirely their business and the government should just stay out of it. This is not to be used as a political weapon. I for one will always fight and stand for the equal protections under the law, and against any attempt to use their power to divide, discriminate, or interfere in other people's lives.
Second Amendment
Matthew supports and will defend the people's right to the Second Amendment. However, firearms are currently the leading cause of death in children in the United States. This is not about politics, or sending out prayers to the families. This is about making a change and protecting our loved ones. There are simple ways that we can protect our Second Amendment rights, as well as having public safety. We should be setting age restrictions on who should be able to carry weapons. Background checks to make sure certain individuals cannot carry because they lost those rights. We should be encouraging safe storage of our weapons. Responsible gun ownership is a simple request, and common sense reforms will help keep everyone safe.
