“Hard work should result in a stable life,” Nancy Lacore said. “Americans deserve a lower cost of living—housing, healthcare, childcare, and daily essentials—so families, seniors, veterans, and young Americans can build secure futures.”

Lacore says she wants to lower the cost of living for Americans to help them build a secure future.
