Problem: Louisiana's regressive tax system causes working and middle-class families, which represent 90% of citizens, to pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than millionaires and big corporations.
Solution: End the billion dollar giveaways at the top and provide tax cuts to families.
Problem: High property insurance premiums burden residents and strain household budgets.
Solution: Structural reforms, such as premium assistance, the establishment of a state reinsurance marketplace, and significant improvements to the Citizens Insurance Program, aimed at reducing property insurance premiums and providing much-needed financial relief to homeowners.
Insurance Relief Program
Problem: High property insurance premiums burden residents and strain household budgets.
Solution: Structural reforms, such as premium assistance, the establishment of a state reinsurance marketplace, and significant improvements to the Citizens Insurance Program, aimed at reducing property insurance premiums and providing much-needed financial relief to homeowners.
Background: Currently, the ITEP program withholds hundreds of millions of dollars in vital revenue from our local communities, effectively operating as a corporate welfare rubber stamp.
Solution: To better serve our communities, ITEP should undergo a comprehensive restructuring. This transformation will ensure that ITEP exclusively benefits industries that prioritize economic diversification, offer long-term value, and uphold environmentally responsible practices, while simultaneously excluding those that fail to meet federal standards.

Actions: Protect individual liberties to enhance business climate and retain talent.

Empty the Unclaimed Property Vault
Background: Louisiana's Unclaimed Property Vault holds $1 billion, averaging $900 per person, which remains unclaimed due to bureaucratic obstacles.
Solution:
Proactively streamline processes and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles to efficiently return this unclaimed property to its rightful owners, putting these funds back into the hands of Louisianans.

Proposed Programs:
Since statehood, Black Louisianans have built up the arts, culture, food, and economic opportunities in our state. History has shown that Louisiana has never returned the investment back to the Black community, and quality of life statistics show how the community has been left behind due to a lack of adequate state investment to build stronger communities.
Dustin Granger is running for Treasurer to make sure every Louisiana resident gets a return on their investments, and once elected, he'll utilize the Treasurer's office to address the issues Black Louisianans face most.
