I’m Jeff Cohen. I’ve spent my life working on big economic problems.
Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense is failing us. Americans can’t get ahead.
I’m running for Congress because we need leadership to fix it.

Even if Dems win back the House in ‘26, it’s going to take bipartisan ideas to make any dent in affordability for the foreseeable future. This new interview explains. And if you’d like to send an economist to Congress, please share. youtu.be/XvnSrEQ87x8?si=GZyV…

Ask your candidate if they have the courage to support lifting the cap on 435 representatives in the House.

NEW AD: I'm Jeff Cohen, an economist for 30 years, and I'm now running for Congress.
Trump’s economic chaos keeps me up at night. Rent, groceries, healthcare, what keeps you up?
We need an economy that’s affordable and stable and even a little boring. Maybe then, we can sleep.

Donald Trump must be stopped.
His chaotic economic nonsense is truly a mess for everyday Americans.
In Congress, I'll fight like hell using my economic experience. Can you chip in $9, $15, $25, or $50 to ensure we can hit the airwaves with this ad TODAY?

Donald Trump was inaugurated three hundred and seventy-four days ago but still can't take one ounce of accountability.
He really said this at a rally in Iowa this week. This is not AI.

This is sickening.
People are being murdered by heavily armed, masked men with no identification, dressed in street clothes, and without judicial warrants.
How many of those things have to add up for people to think it's too much?

I've had a long day campaigning, ate some leftovers, turned on the news and we get this:
A third-rate real estate hack son-in-law of the President negotiating what? A peace deal or real estate deal in the Middle East?
Get me to Congress so I can fix the economy!

Trump is posting AI-generated images of the U.S. occupying Canada and Greenland. A perpetration of delusion, entirely oblivious to our history and regional politics - and enabled by people like Scott Bessent.
We need better leadership and that’s why I’m running for Congress.

I dug up an old paper I wrote on Dr. King and Satyagraha.
“When civil disobedience occurs in a democracy… something could be wrong with the democracy itself.” I hope not.
That’s why I’m running for Congress as the only economist in the race. Democracy needs better leadership.

Jerome Powell had to explain basic reality to the American people because Trump is pushing criminal charges against him.
All because Trump is a transparently vindictive fat baby attacking the independent Fed that is literally keeping his economic chaos from bankrupting the U.S.
