American Dream

MISSION

American Dream begins by removing burdensome regulation and restoring the freedom to innovate and faith in the American worker. Through this campaign, economy and trade policy experts research and develop pro-growth policy solutions that can unleash the American economy and protect the American workers. We then partner with allies in DC and the states to drive those policies through the highest levels of government.

Focus Areas / Policy Pillars

Income Tax - Reduce the burden of income taxes on the American people while ensuring that pro-growth incentives encourage private sector expansion and facilitate every American pursuing their dreams.
Make America Affordable Again – Revive the American dream of being able to afford to marry, raise a family, and buy a home
Fair Trade with Trading Nations - Restoring American dominance by restoring confidence in the American worker and reclaiming fairness in trade with trading nations.
Deregulate the Economy – Eliminate the government regulations that prevent Americans from building, investing, and innovating.

Liberation Day 2.0: Rebuilding the Tariff Agenda Without IEEPA

Trump (2026) (hereinafter Learning Resources).
