Limiting Corporate Power

Our economy should work for the many, not the few.

Jerry has always believed that our economy should prioritize workers before the interests of outsized corporations. As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jerry has led far-reaching bipartisan investigations into the state of competition within the digital economy, examining the dominance that huge companies like Facebook and Amazon possess and the costs that everyday Americans often have to bear as a result. This investigation was deemed revolutionary by those within the antitrust enforcement world and has held huge implications for both the massive corporations that control so much of our economy and the consumers who are left with no choice but to depend upon them.

COVID-19 has made clear the devastating consequences of unchecked corporate consolidation. So many of the economic inconveniences that Americans have faced in the past several years–soaring gas prices, dysfunctional supply chains, formula shortages, and acute price gouging–have been the direct result of insufficient market competition and normalized anticompetitive corporate practices. Jerry has worked hard to correct that imbalance and return the power in our free market back to the consumer, where it belongs.
