Klobuchar reveals 100 actions for first 100 days in office

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Tuesday released a list of 100 executive actions she’d take in her first 100 days in office.

“In my first 100 days as president I will enact an ambitious, optimistic agenda to improve our health care, combat climate change, pursue economic justice and shared prosperity, and build a stronger democracy and safer world,” she said in an online statement. “With these concrete steps, we will put our country back on a path of progress where people have an opportunity to get ahead.” 

Here it is: a plan for my first 100 days as President of the United States. The urgent problems our country is facing require immediate action and bold solutions, and I plan to get to work delivering results on Day One.https://t.co/YuJbh7qwH9

Some of her proposed orders would take aim at actions taken by President Trump, including ending the separation of families at the border.

Other actions highlighted include immigration reform, introducing gun violence legislation that bans bump stocks and assault weapons, working to reenter the Iran nuclear agreement and making sure the citizenship question is not on the census.

She also vowed to ensure funding for Planned Parenthood and raise the minimum wage to $15 for federal contractors.

“After four years of Donald Trump, a new president can’t wait for a bunch of congressional hearings to act,” Klobuchar said. “The urgent problems our country is facing require immediate action.”

Klobuchar’s list of policies comes days before 20 Democratic candidates will take the stage for the first presidential debates in Florida.
