Our story

I’m Andrew Helton — husband, dad of two, still making about $30k a year in Illinois. Like you, I’ve felt the squeeze: daycare bills that hurt, drug prices that rob us, veterans sleeping on the street, and a Washington that just added trillions to the debt with their “One Big Beautiful Bill” while giving families almost nothing.

So I stopped complaining and started writing — again.

In 2025 they passed their bill.
In 2025 I finished mine.

The CitizenHelton United Act of 2026 is now eleven complete, ready-to-file bills that any Member of Congress can drop on Day 1 of the 119th Congress (January 3, 2026).

No donors. No lobbyists. Just me, the official GAO waste reports, and a kitchen table.

What I built beats Washington’s plan on every single metric:

- Up to one full year of paid family leave (working families under $100k/$200k joint get the full 52 weeks immediately)
- 750,000 new mixed-income homes — at least 40% reserved for veterans and post-9/11 disabled vets
- Finish the wall + 10,000 new agents + nationwide E-Verify + merit-based immigration
- Slash drug prices 20–30% with Canada imports, Most-Favored-Nation pricing, and patent-abuse bans
- Protect and expand healthcare coverage while saving taxpayers $32–$48 billion a year
- Save Social Security for decades — no cap for workers, frozen forever for millionaires
- End government shutdowns permanently + cut $110 billion of documented waste every single year
- Pay down $2.8 – $3.4 TRILLION of debt over ten years

100% paid for. Zero new taxes on any family under $400k/$800k joint.

Washington talked big and added debt.
One regular dad from Illinois wrote the plan that actually delivers.

These eleven bills are finished, posted, and waiting.

I’m not asking for your money or your vote.
I’m asking you to read them, share them, and call your Representative and Senators and say:
“A dad from Illinois already did your homework — now do your job.”

This is the America we want.
Let’s prove regular Americans can still fix what’s broken.

So I wrote the plan they wouldn’t.

It delivers the world’s most generous paid family leave, 750,000 new homes for veterans and working families, real border security, 20–30% lower drug prices, protected healthcare, Social Security solvency, and $2.8 – $3.4 TRILLION in debt reduction — all fully paid for, with zero new taxes on anyone under $400k/$800k joint.
