K-12 Education Reform Roadmap
America’s K-12 education system is not working for too many students, and its lack of innovation and excellence has resulted in a nation perpetually at risk (Eberstadt & Abramsky, 2022). Civic knowledge is shamefully low (The Nation’s Report Card, 2022), students are not prepared for prosperous careers (Smith, Buckingham, Larkin & Russell, 2025), and millions of children are trapped in zip-code-assigned buildings where teaching does not align with their parents’ values. Entrenched institutions, namely teachers’ unions and public school bureaucracies, benefit from the status quo.

During his annual hearing to Congress in April 2026, United States Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer said about Canada, “There are two countries that have retaliated economically against the United States in the past year, the People’s Republic of China and Canada, so that’s the kind of company that they’re running in” (Van Dyk, 2026).

Public Safety Without Weaponization: A Balanced Approach to Automatic License Plate Readers
Automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) have become one of the most contested tools in American policing. More than 200 local governments have canceled or declined to renew their contracts since the start of 2025; Texas and Florida have pulled state support; a Senate subcommittee has opened an investigation into the industry; and House members have introduced bills ranging from a federal funding ban to a federal warrant requirement. Much of that attention falls on Flock Safety, an Atlanta company that reports customers in roughly 6,000 communities and whose name has become shorthand for the technology itself.

Building More Pathways to Homeownership
With the average age of a first-time homebuyer now at 40 years old, younger generations are finding homeownership is not just difficult but moving further out of their reach. Moreover, only one of the largest 34 metro areas offers homes for sale at an average price point that more than half the residents can afford. This is a result of housing prices rising significantly over several decades, while wages have not followed suit. Homes appreciated 167% between 1970 and 2024, including about 70% since the Great Recession, and 17% since the pandemic.
