Abigail Spanberger ran on lowering the cost of living.
On Thursday, she showcased over a dozen policy proposals to do that.
Among them is a proposal to keep people in the health care marketplace.
The idea is that if it's only higher risk people in the insurance pool, premiums go up for everyone.
A health care bill passed through the Republican-controlled U.S.
House of Representatives Wednesday, but didn't include extensions of the subsidies.
The affordability proposal Spanberger shared addressed energy and housing costs, too.
She faces the challenge of risks to Virginia's economy due to federal workforce cuts.
