Bar members of Congress from becoming lobbyists after they leave
Ban officials from betting on prediction markets
Tighten ethics and conflict-of-interest rules for Congress and the executive branch
Step up investigations and penalties for corrupt officials
End corruption in Washington
Extend the lobbying ban beyond Congress
“I will push for a full ban on trading individual stock or cryptocurrency for members of Congress and their immediate families, to make sure they serve us, not their pocketbooks, and ban politicians from using prediction markets while in office.”
“We also need harsher penalties for rulebreakers. Right now, when politicians violate existing legislation designed to protect against insider trading, they are fined $200, barely a slap on the wrist. I support enhancing the US criminal code to ensure that kind of corruption is a crime with a harsh penalty and giving the SEC or DOJ the tools necessary to investigate and root out politicians pretending to serve us while lining their own pockets.”
“We need to close the revolving door between our elected representatives and their next lucrative job influencing our political system. In Congress, I would work across the aisle to ban lobbying by former federal officials.”
“I am running to end that corruption by banning corporate PAC money, implementing term limits and barring Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, so Washington finally works for Kentucky, not itself.”
“I’m running for Congress now because Central Kentucky deserves the next generation of leadership to crack down on corruption and fight for the working class.”
“We need real reform: ban stock trading for members of Congress so they can’t use non-public information to profit on Wall Street, impose a lifetime lobbying ban for former members, and get rid of dark money in politics. Big business and the ultra-wealthy shouldn’t be able to buy influence in Washington.”
“I spent my career investigating and fighting corruption as a federal prosecutor. In Congress, I’ll shine a light on corruption through proper oversight and accountability, and I’ll work to restore people’s faith that the government works for them, not the rich and powerful.”
“My priorities have always been making life more affordable for the people I’m lucky enough to call my neighbors and taking on a broken Washington that has left us behind. To do that, we must confront the corruption that has enabled the high costs that are crushing working families in the first place.”
“Today, Navy veteran and former prosecutor Zach Dembo announced a six-figure TV and digital ad buy focused on how he’ll put country over party in order to fight the corruption in Washington, lower costs, and make sure Central Kentuckians have access to quality, affordable healthcare.”
“Kentuckians know that corporations and special interests have too much power over Congress. Big corporations push their agenda using politicians they buy off through campaign donations, it is public corruption in plain sight. That is why I have pledged to never take a dime of corporate pac money, so there is no question that I serve my community and my community alone. In Congress, I will fight to ban donations from corporate pacs out right, so Congress starts serving us, not corporate special interests.”
“When billionaires and corporations can pour unlimited money into campaigns without any transparency or accountability, ordinary voters get drowned out. And to make matters worse, the politicians who directly benefit know who they owe. As your congressman, I’ll introduce an amendment to end the Citizens United decision and get corporations out of our political fundraising system.”
“FACT: Zach Dembo’s campaign has never solicited dark money from shady interests and he is the only candidate in this race who does not take a dime from corporate PACs. Dembo’s campaign does not accept contributions from Reid Hoffman, or anyone implicated in the Epstein files.”
“I am running to end that corruption by banning corporate PAC money, implementing term limits and barring Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, so Washington finally works for Kentucky, not itself.”
“We need real reform: ban stock trading for members of Congress so they can’t use non-public information to profit on Wall Street, impose a lifetime lobbying ban for former members, and get rid of dark money in politics. Big business and the ultra-wealthy shouldn’t be able to buy influence in Washington.”
“Congress shouldn’t be a lifetime job and politics shouldn’t be a career. In Congress I will propose term limits of 12 years on members of the House and Senate and I will hold myself to that standard regardless of its passage. Public office should be about service, not holding on to power.”
“I am running to end that corruption by banning corporate PAC money, implementing term limits and barring Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, so Washington finally works for Kentucky, not itself.”
Release the Epstein files and name everyone involved
“FACT: Zach Dembo has long called for the Epstein files to be released while Ralph Alvarado has stayed quiet on the issue until last week to smear our campaign.”
“So I don’t care if Democrats or Republicans are hurt by the release of the Epstein files, we need to be transparent and we need to make sure that we aren’t protecting the rich and the powerful at the expense of normal, hardworking Kentuckians […] When asked, that is what I say: that they should absolutely release these files.”
Other things the site says about government operations and elections (8)
“Throughout my career, I’ve sworn four oaths to the Constitution, and I took each one seriously. That’s why I resigned from the Department of Justice when I saw corruption that benefited politicians over regular people. It was a matter of principle.”
“The Justice Department should work for the American people, not the President. The Justice Manual, the document that outlines the Department’s policies and procedures, should be codified so one figure can’t change it to their own benefit.”
“Independent redistricting commissions in every state: Voters should pick their elected representatives, not the other way around. As politicians are in a race to the bottom, rigging the line of their districts to pick who votes for them, the rest of us are feeling left behind from both political parties. If we’re serious about restoring trust in our elections, we need an independent, nonpartisan process for drawing district lines.”
“Never fly first class
This is a campaign about Central Kentucky, not about privileges or perks. Voters trust us to be responsible stewards of their tax dollars, so we shouldn’t indulge in luxuries like first-class flights on their dime while the debt continues to climb.”
“I resigned from my position as a federal prosecutor because I couldn’t in good conscience stay on as this administration turned the Department of Justice into the president’s personal law firm.”
“We also need to take steps to make the Department of Justice completely independent from the whims of this president. The enforcement of our nation’s laws should be apolitical, and we need to make sure Congress makes that independence the law by moving the Department of Justice out of the executive branch and protecting the Attorney General and his or her subordinates from the political vicissitudes of an increasingly chaotic White House. I believe the Attorney General should be appointed for six year terms, and he or she should only be removable for cause.”
“I’m running for Congress to give Central Kentucky the independent voice it deserves, shake up a broken system, and hold the corrupt accountable—regardless of what political party they’re in.”
“It also means we need to call out our own country’s actions. I oppose illegal and unnecessary wars. What’s happened in Iran and with the boats coming from Venezuela – and what this administration is hinting at with possible military action in Greenland and Cuba – is a dangerous abuse of power and violates international law. Bare minimum, we need congressional oversight and our international allies to agree before we go to war.”

“Dembo was quick to condemn the war when it launched in February and has continued to vocally oppose the war as rising gas and diesel prices crush Kentucky farmers and families who are paying more as a result.”
Strengthen U.S. alliances and rebuild trust with allies
Keep a strong U.S. commitment to NATO
Get allies' agreement before going to war
“The foreign policy we’re seeing isn’t “America First” – it’s playing directly into China and Russia’s hands while hurting our credibility at home and abroad. Instead of defending our allies and strengthening NATO, we’re weakening our alliances all over the globe with insults and knee-jerk foreign policy decisions based on ego and social media instead of reality and solid intelligence. And we’re spending billions of dollars on pointless foreign wars when we have many of our own problems to solve right here at home.”

“When democracy is attacked anywhere, it threatens democracy everywhere. We need to show countries like China and Russia that we won’t support their attempts to take over other nations. That means supporting Ukraine, protecting Taiwan’s sovereignty, and deescalating this War of Choice in Iran.”
Other things the site says about foreign affairs and aid (6)
“Dembo was quick to condemn the war when it launched in February and has continued to vocally oppose the war as rising gas and diesel prices crush Kentucky farmers and families who are paying more as a result.”
“Central Kentuckians voted for no new wars two years ago, but this corrupt government has betrayed us, and now we’re stuck picking up the tab, which just hit $38 billion.”
“People in this district do not want another forever war in the Middle East, especially one that has dragged on for more than seven months with no end in sight. As this conflict continues, gas, diesel, and fertilizer costs have skyrocketed, putting even more pressure on working families.”
“From our disastrous War of Choice in Iran, to our abandonment of our allies, to playing right into the hands of adversaries like Russia and China, we’re in a scary moment for our country and for our world. As a former uniformed lawyer – and the only veteran in this race – I’m committed to do everything in my power to make sure Congress does its job and brings common sense back to our foreign policy.”
“While I hope the temporary cease fire means an end to putting our soldiers and sailors in harm’s way, we need to go farther and minimize the danger – economic, physical, or otherwise – of our troops, people, and pursue peace.”
“Instead of spending our money to benefit Central Kentucky, we’ve spent billions on a reckless war no one asked for that doesn’t do a damn thing for Kentucky.”
“The government shouldn’t have a say in how and when you start a family or in what women choose to do with their own bodies. As the son of two physicians, I know how private and sacred the relationship between a doctor and her patient is.”
“We also need price transparency requirements for medical procedures so people know exactly what they’re paying, caps on out-of-pocket expenses, reforms to reduce administrative overhead and waste in the insurance system, and fight for a public option in healthcare so everyone can afford care.”
“In his announcement, Dembo emphasized the need for good-paying jobs, fighting back against cuts to Medicaid and affordable healthcare, and doing more to strengthen the economy and lower the cost of living in Central Kentucky – including his opposition to the tariffs that are hurting critical Kentucky industries and jobs.”
“Central Kentucky deserves to have a representative in Washington who stands up for families, works to lower their cost of living, expands access to affordable healthcare, and protects their safety. Instead, D.C. politicians have put Medicaid on the chopping block, tariffs are targeting our most prized industries and jobs, and everything costs more – all while they give billionaires and coastal elites a massive tax break.”
“Today, Navy veteran and former prosecutor Zach Dembo announced a six-figure TV and digital ad buy focused on how he’ll put country over party in order to fight the corruption in Washington, lower costs, and make sure Central Kentuckians have access to quality, affordable healthcare.”
“In Congress, I’ll work to make healthcare affordable for everyone by extending health care tax credits that lower costs, protecting Medicaid funding, capping out-of-pocket expenses, getting the government to negotiate fair drug prices, and fighting for a public option to expand health care access.”
Make drug companies charge Americans no more than other countries

“One in three Kentuckians rely on Medicaid for their health coverage. Cutting Medicaid hurts families, threatens our hospitals, and eliminates good-paying jobs. We need to reverse these cuts and fully fund Medicaid so that working families and seniors can access the care they need.”

“Central Kentuckians could also see their premiums double if ACA tax credits aren’t fully funded. These subsidies are keeping healthcare affordable for tens of thousands of families across our state. In Congress, I’ll fight to restore and expand ACA tax credits so that health insurance remains within reach for working families.”

Set binding safety rules for the most powerful AI models
Protect children from AI harms

Retrain workers whose jobs change or disappear, including from AI
Make tech companies and data centers pay for worker training
“We should know if massive layoffs or displacements are happening because of AI and corporations should have to give notice before replacing employees with AI. If this replacement happens, big tech and the companies that profit should be required to pay into a fund that helps retrain workers who lose their jobs to AI so workers don’t lose their livelihoods as our economy transitions into the AI age.”
“Labor unions made the middle class. We only have the 40-hour work week, weekends, paid time off, and overtime pay because organized labor fought for it for all of us. In Congress, I’ll fully support the PRO Act, advocate for workplace safety standards, fund apprenticeship programs, protect unemployment benefits, and defend the right to collectively bargain and unionize.”
“In Congress, I’ll fight to fully fund our public schools and jobs training programs, fairly pay our teachers and educators, and make sure our universities have the research funding they need to stay best-in-class institutions. We also need to make sure that there is robust funding for apprenticeship and job training programs, since not every job requires a college degree and we want to be sure folks can flourish whether or not they go to college.”
“People who work full-time should make enough money to feed their families and pay their bills. Public servants like teachers, farmers, and custodians are the foundation of our communities but often don’t make enough to live. Everyone should make a living wage of at least $15 an hour – but Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage in 17 years despite prices skyrocketing.”

“We need fighters for us and our industries in Congress, and one of the first things I would do is make sure Congress exercises its power and stops this needless trade war that’s hurting all of us.”
“The reality is Central Kentucky’s families are struggling to make ends meet, and this trade war is doing nothing to help them. Tariffs are hiking taxes on our households and hurting our industries, especially our distillers, manufacturers, and farmers.”
“ICE is out of control right now; one need look no further than their killings of two Americans in broad daylight. The firing of Kristi Noem was long overdue and in no way addresses the underlying problems with that overfunded and undersupervised agency. As a former federal prosecutor, I will always be for immigration enforcement against violent criminals and a secure border, but what we’re seeing right now is ICE inspiring fear rather than public safety and killing taxpayers instead of serving them.”
“We also need immigration reform that secures our border while treating people with dignity and creating a path to citizenship for those already here working hard and contributing to our communities.”
Protect schools, churches, hospitals and other sensitive places from enforcement
Raise training and conduct standards for immigration agents
Focus immigration enforcement on dangerous criminals

“We must hold ICE to the same standards as all law enforcement: comprehensive training (not just 47 days), body cameras for transparency, no hiding identities behind masks, and a focus on actual violent criminals – not law-abiding people in courthouses, schools, or churches. We can have both security and humanity.”

“Our teachers are underpaid and undersupported, our school buildings are crumbling, and too many politicians want to defund public education rather than invest in it. This Administration and Congress have taken a huge step in the wrong direction by basically eliminating the Department of Education and its ability to help us.”
Help public servants like teachers and first responders buy homes
Build more homes so buying one costs less
Stop large investors from outbidding families for homes
“We need to do everything we can to increase housing supply to reduce housing prices – funding research into cheaper construction materials, massive public-private partnerships to increase supply, expanded first-time homebuyer programs like the VA loan program that helped me to other public servants that serve their communities (like teachers, nurses, and first responders), and stopping Wall Street from buying up homes from all the rest of us. Programs that help working families achieve homeownership work; we just need to expand them so everyone has a fair shot, not just veterans like me.”
Cut red tape and speed up permits for home building
Invest public money in building new homes
Lower the cost of building homes
“We need to make sure regulators answer to patients, not pharmaceutical executives, and increase the housing supply by cutting the red tape for developers and protect renters from the price gouging.”

Ensure fair markets and trade policies for farmers
“Our farmers feed this country, but they’re getting left behind. Tariffs are wrecking the soybean, cattle, and corn crops grown here in Central Kentucky.

Set binding standards and rules for data centers
Protect local water and the environment from data centers
Require impact reviews and public disclosure for data centers
Make data centers deliver local jobs, benefits and worker protections
“All across Kentucky, we’re seeing backlash against data centers and localities like Lexington are passing data center moratoriums; meanwhile big tech is bribing the federal government to pass laws banning states from regulating data centers altogether while they contribute millions to fund Trump’s inauguration – we need local control.”
“Right now, data centers are being built without enough community input or environmental oversight, and they’re exhausting our power grid in ways that drive up energy bills for working families. Some are also polluting clean air and water and destroying fertile farmland. That’s not progress – that’s passing the costs of corporate expansion onto the rest of us. If a community doesn’t want a data center in their backyard, they should not be forced to have one, and state, local, and county leaders should be responsive to their community’s desires. The first job of any elected official is to listen.”
“In Congress, I’ll push for legislation that requires transparency and local input in data center siting decisions, holds companies accountable for their environmental impact, and makes sure Big Tech can’t offload rising energy costs onto Kentucky families.”
“I believe AI has real potential to improve lives – but it also comes with real risks and shouldn’t involve giving Big Tech a blank check. AI should work for all of us, not just for the companies building it. And as AI companies make billions, that prosperity has to be shared with the local communities without harming the community’s health or environment, or they should not be allowed in.”

“Small businesses are the backbone of Central Kentucky, and they’re getting crushed by tariffs that are just taxes on our businesses and consumers. Since this trade war started, we’ve seen retaliatory tariffs hit our markets, exports drop sharply, bourbon distillers shutter shops, and our farmers unable to sell their crops. Plus, prices continue to skyrocket, with staples like beef and coffee reaching record highs and burdening hardworking families’ grocery budgets. They’re also costing Kentucky families an extra $1300 per year, and have already been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.”
