Poulos supports federal action to ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes and to ban algorithmic rental pricing, treating housing as a right.

Poulos supports a federal AI authority to set binding rules, pre-approve high-risk systems, and regulate algorithmic management of workers.
“AI makes life-altering decisions with almost no oversight. A single federal authority would set binding rules, approve high-risk systems before release, and hold companies accountable.”

Poulos supports a Universal Basic Income, backing the BOOST Act's $250/month payment to every adult as a financial floor for workers displaced by AI.
“The BOOST Act would provide $250/month to every adult. When AI eliminates jobs, UBI provides a floor to stand on-funded by those who profit from automation.”

“The climate crisis demands transformative federal action. We need the Green New Deal to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels while creating millions of good union jobs and protecting vulnerable communities.”

Poulos supports overturning Citizens United, banning congressional stock and crypto trading, and a lifetime ban on congressional lobbying.
“Corporations are not people. Money is not speech. The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision unleashed unlimited corporate money in elections. It's time for a constitutional amendment to restore democracy.”
