Congressional Candidates Who Support Highly Progressive Taxation
About this list: This list was researched and compiled with the assistance of ChatGPT. Candidates are included only when publicly available evidence documents support for substantially more progressive federal taxation of very high incomes and/or extreme wealth. Links to the underlying sources are provided so readers can evaluate the evidence themselves.
For consistency, this list uses a strict standard. Candidates must have documented support for a substantially more progressive federal tax structure, such as the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act or comparably specific proposals that would significantly increase effective federal taxation of very high incomes or extreme wealth.
The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would impose an annual 2% tax on household net worth above $50 million and an additional 1% above $1 billion. It was reintroduced in 2026 by Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Brendan Boyle, organized by state:
