Get StartedRepeal the 1994 Crime Bill. This bill's approach has been a well-documented failure. Many of the provisions have led to longer prison sentences, more incarcerations, and more private prisons. This bill should be replaced with a policy that does not reinforce the school-to-prison pipeline. Learn more
Prohibiting private prisons. Nobody should profit from incarcerations. The private prison industry continues to expand its hold on immigrant and other detention centers. Private prisons and related industries not only benefit from incarcerations, they actively lobby and finance politicians at all levels of government to maintain and expand this industry, and this cannot continue.

Ending the War on Drugs. The “War on Drugs” did not lead to decreased drug use and fewer convictions, it contributed to mass incarcerations that affect black and brown communities most. Guido believes in ending the “War on Drugs” by legalizing marijuana and expunging past convictions. Guido will fight a model that focuses on rehabilitation rather than incarceration. Learn more

Guido will work to change the current campaign finance system, removing the ability for industries like private prisons, gun companies, and other corporations to influence policy. Learn more
Guido believes in capping prescription drug prices, allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with drug companies, and pegging median drug prices to other developed countries globally. These actions would allow us to rein in the drug prices that significantly affect American families. Learn more
Protect Americans with pre-existing conditions. Guido believes in preserving and expanding the existing Medicare and Medicaid programs; he will not let any of the existing programs be put on the chopping block. Learn more
Healthcare for every American. Guido believes no American should struggle financially to receive health care because healthcare is a human right. The United States is the only industrialized country that does not provide healthcare to all of its citizens, but Guido will fight to provide healthcare for every American; it is time for Medicare for All. Learn more
American citizens and immigrants (legal or not), should never be exploited by anyone in this country. Many immigrants fear going to authorities to address exploitative conditions due to concerns over deportation or other forms of retribution. Guido will work to create stronger protections for all workers in this country. Learn more
We cannot maintain a system where for-profit detention centers donate significantly to local, state, and federal politicians to support mass incarceration, prioritizing profits over lives. Unfortunately, politicians from both parties have benefited from investing in for-profit detention centers and taking campaign money from for-profit detention centers, Guido will never accept contributions from such corporations. Learn more
Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to work 40 hours a week earning the minimum wage and afford healthcare or support children, nevermind save. Guido understands that we must raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and not a penny less. Learn more
