Education

Young Americans Housing Plan: “We will tackle the housing affordability crisis by helping working families buy and keep their homes.” The plan states: “My plan fixes that by offering true 0% interest loans for starter homes up to the local median home price, giving working families and young buyers a real opportunity to achieve homeownership and build generational wealth. For families already carrying high-interest mortgages on their primary residence, we will allow 0% refinancing up to the median home price on a new, affordable 15-year amortizing loan.”

Young Americans Housing Plan - Vote Young

In response to “How is this paid for without raising taxes or growing government?” the housing plan says: “By reclaiming authority that Congress has abdicated to the Federal Reserve, we can direct the Fed to do what it has already done successfully—offer effectively 0% loans—but this time targeted to help average American families instead of primarily benefiting large asset managers and the wealthy.” It adds that through quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve could purchase the loans from originating banks and mortgage brokers.

Under “Organized Labor,” Young writes: “Workers have the right to organize and to bargain. I have spent twenty-five years in rooms where those contracts get negotiated, usually with the company on the edge of failing.”

Under “The minimum wage,” Young writes: “Pennsylvania’s has been $7.25 since 2009. The Commonwealth should raise it. No one in Chester or Berks is one wage vote away from affording a house here. I would rather spend my time on the things that actually put homeownership within reach.”

Proposes 0% interest loans for starter homes and 0% refinancing for eligible primary-residence mortgages.

Economy

The Young Americans Healthcare Plan says: “We will break up Big Health Insurance by ending vertical integration. No longer will giant insurers own hospitals, physician practices, pharmacies, or drug wholesalers—including Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). This restores real competition and puts patients and doctors first.”

About the Young Americans Plan for Universal Healthcare

Young's Chester County Medical Society response lists: “c. Reform prior authorization and utilization management system-wide without new reporting mandates. Mandate gold-carding for high-performing independent physicians, standardized electronic forms and clinical criteria (using the TRICARE template), strict response timelines with automatic approval for non-response, and public transparency of denial rates and criteria. These changes free physician and staff time for patient care while preserving legitimate cost control—avoiding the creation of yet another complex quality or value program that adds compliance theater.”

Under “Reproductive policy,” Young writes: “My position is the current TRICARE rule: coverage when the life of the mother is at risk, and in cases of rape or incest. I will not vote for a national ban. That is the standard military families already live under. People of good faith disagree here. I am not going to pretend otherwise.”

Proposes ending vertical integration between health insurers and healthcare providers, pharmacies, drug wholesalers, and pharmacy benefit managers.

Under “Elections,” Young writes: “Only American citizens should vote in American elections. That is the law. I support a version of the SAVE Act that requires a state or federally issued ID, with the same transparency standard Pennsylvania already has: full and public disclosure of who voted. We should not make it hard to vote. We should make it hard to cheat.”

Under “2020,” Young writes: “Joe Biden was elected President. I will not spend a term relitigating it. After January 6th, I deployed to Washington with the National Guard to help secure the peaceful transfer of power to him. I took that oath seriously then. I take it seriously now.”

Supports requiring state- or federally issued identification to vote and publicly disclosing who voted.

Voting & Elections

Answering VOTE411's question on foreign policy and international relations, Young writes: “Congress alone has the responsibility to declare war, ratify treaties, confirm ambassadors, and control military spending. These checks and balances prevent any one administration from dragging us into endless conflicts or unwise commitments. Congress should prioritize peace through strength by maintaining the strongest military in the world, demand accountability on foreign aid, advance America First policies by firmly countering China, Russia, and Iran, protect American jobs, avoid nation-building, and strengthens fair trade with our allies that share our values and common interests.”

Under “Immigration and ICE,” Young writes: “Public safety here starts with local police. I am proud to have the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, Chester County Lodge. Washington should do the work only Washington can do: the border, the cartels, human trafficking, and serious criminal offenders. It should stay in that lane — and be held accountable when it does not.”

Calls for federal action on border security, cartels, human trafficking, and serious criminal offenders while prioritizing local police for local public safety.

Answering a VOTE411 question on healthcare access and affordability, Young writes: “My Young Americans Healthcare Plan (YAHP) saves American families at least $5,000 annually and helps end medical bankruptcies. This practical reform expands the military’s highly successful TRICARE system — which already serves millions efficiently — to guarantee full coverage for every child from birth through age 23, including preventive care and mental health services. It also covers expectant mothers from the moment of a positive pregnancy test through the baby’s first birthday, including prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care.”
