Klobuchar lays out 100 actions for first 100 days if she wins White House

“On day one, we will get back into the International Climate Change Agreement and restore the Clean Power Plan and work to bring back the gas mileage standards. Those are things you can do without passing a law,” Klobuchar said at the National Press Club.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar pledged Tuesday to reverse President Donald Trump’s rollback of environmental agreements and regulations and go further than former President Barack Obama in battling high drug prices and raising federal contractors’ wages.

The list includes closing tax loopholes; stopping the so-called practice of “pay for delay,” through which pharmaceutical companies pay to keep cheaper generics off the market; and updating the antitrust standards for reviewing corporate mergers. She also pledged to end the domestic and global gag rules surrounding abortion counseling, and to ensure funding for Planned Parenthood.

“Let’s increase the minimum wage for federal contractors to $15 an hour – something you can do in the first 100 days – while we work to pass an increase to the federal minimum wage in year one,” she said.
