Darden supports a full ban on stock trading by members of Congress, their families, and members of the Executive Branch.
Health care
Darden grew up watching his mom work the overnight shift at a factory just to keep the family's health benefits. He knows what a safety net means. In Congress, he'll fight to protect Medicaid, defend affordable health care premiums, lower prescription drug costs, and keep rural hospitals open, because your health shouldn't depend on your zip code or your paycheck.
Seniors & aging
While Washington Republicans push plans to slash benefits, raise the retirement age, and hand Medicare over to private insurers, Darden will draw a hard line: no cuts, no privatization, no games with the retirement security of Tennessee's seniors. Period.
Consumer protection
Darden will fight to lower costs for working families: taking on price gouging, expanding affordable housing, capping prescription drug prices, and making child care affordable. He'll fight to make corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share — not squeeze the middle class.
