House Minority Leader Pelosi sets out Democrat agenda

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) laid out an early legislative agenda that Democrats are hoping will distinguish the party's priorities from those of the Republicans heading into the 114th Congress.

In a letter to her troops, Minority Leader Pelosi outlined the party's focus at the launch of the 2016 presidential cycle, including efforts to increase working class wages, hike infrastructure spending and eliminate tax breaks for companies that move their headquarters overseas. The priorities for her caucus line up with those of President Barack Obama, who signaled an interest in working with Republicans on tax reform and infrastructure spending during a meeting with incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
