Evidence
The platform includes ... taxing billionaires to fund universal healthcare and childcare, and breaking up monopolies that drive up prices while suppressing wages.
Congressmembers Delia C. Ramirez, Jesús “Chuy” García, Lateefah Simon and Analilia Mejia stood with labor, civil rights, and economic justice leaders from across the country to introduce the Living Wage for All Act.
Oath of Office: Apr. 20, 2026 ... Committee on Homeland Security
Assessments
The evidence shows Mejia campaigned on taxing billionaires and big corporations to fund community priorities, but does not show enactment of such a tax policy or even introduction/support of a specific billionaire or corporate tax measure after taking office on April 20, 2026. The Living Wage for All Act is related to economic justice but does not deliver the promised tax mechanism or funding outcome.
