Misguided economic and tax policies have hampered growth, allowing the rich to become richer while turning the middle class into the working poor.
I'm a daughter of the middle class with a strong sense of social mobility and individualism, like the waves of immigrants, like my Spanish grandparents, who made Argentina.
We need policies that will benefit the middle class because you will not have a strong society without a strong middle class, fundamentally.

We need a new generation of leaders who will promote policies that will foster economic growth and alleviate the middle class squeeze, defend America's national security against those who threaten our people, reform the culture of Washington, D.C., and reassert the constitutional principles that make our country unique.
