Issues
Reparations
Yoshi Matthews believes that discussions surrounding historic injustice should be approached carefully and within the framework of the law. Her proposal focuses on examining a narrowly defined, Tennessee-based policy approach that is fair, transparent, and limited in scope.
Her goal is to encourage a serious and responsible conversation that acknowledges history while ensuring that any policy approach remains practical and legally sound.
Senior Property Taxes
Many seniors across Tennessee face rising property tax burdens that can threaten their ability to remain in their homes.
Matthews supports targeted property tax relief policies that allow seniors who have spent decades working and contributing to their communities to remain in their homes with stability and dignity.
Her approach focuses on balancing responsible fiscal policy with protections for long-time homeowners.
Universal Basic Income (UBI)
Technology is rapidly transforming the way Americans work and earn a living. Advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure are reshaping industries and creating new opportunities but they are also raising important questions about economic stability for workers and families.
Yoshi Matthews believes policymakers must begin preparing for these changes now. One proposal worth exploring is Universal Basic Income (UBI), a policy concept designed to ensure that every American shares in the economic growth made possible by new technologies and productivity gains.
As innovation continues to reshape the economy, Matthews believes government leaders should examine practical approaches that strengthen financial stability while encouraging entrepreneurship, innovation, and workforce participation.
Her focus is on encouraging thoughtful policy discussion about how the United States can adapt to economic transformation while maintaining opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.
