I stand with creators, workers, and voters against rigged media markets.
I believe America should protect the people who create our culture, not just the corporations and platforms that package it, price it, monetize it, and sometimes control who gets heard.
My position
I see a common pattern across music, film, streaming, digital media, and political commentary: too much power is concentrated in too few hands. When that happens, creators lose leverage, workers lose bargaining power, audiences lose transparency, and voters lose trust.
I do not need to label every dispute as corruption to recognize a real structural problem. Contracts, gatekeepers, platform dependency, ownership concentration, hidden financing, and weak bargaining positions can all leave creators and commentators vulnerable while large corporations keep the advantage.
Why this matters to everyday Americans
For workers
When markets are concentrated, workers can face weak bargaining power, deceptive earnings promises, no-poach arrangements, restrictive contracts, and fewer real opportunities to move or negotiate.
For consumers
When a handful of companies dominate ticketing, distribution, or monetization, the public can end up paying higher fees, accepting less transparency, and dealing with fewer choices.
For creators
Musicians, writers, actors, journalists, and digital creators can be trapped in systems where masters, residuals, audience reach, or monetization are controlled by other people long after the work has been created.
For citizens
When money behind media is opaque, voters can be manipulated without knowing who funded the content, who shaped the message, or what financial interests sit behind the platform.
How I talk about the names people know
I understand why Americans point to names like Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool, Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson, and other public figures when they talk about media power. These examples are useful because they show how ownership, contracts, exclusivity, monetization, and platform control can shape earnings, speech, and reach.
My campaign will not make lazy accusations without evidence or treat every dispute as proof of criminal wrongdoing. My position is stronger than that. I will say plainly that these public cases reveal a system where concentrated power can distort outcomes, reduce transparency, and leave workers and creators exposed.
What I will fight for
Creator rights
I will fight for clearer ownership rights, fairer contract standards, stronger voice and likeness protections, and more honest treatment of the people whose work drives the value of the industry.
Worker protections
I will push federal agencies to target wage-fixing, no-poach arrangements, sham contractor structures, deceptive earnings claims, and abusive restrictions that trap people in unequal deals.
Audience transparency
I will support stronger disclosure standards so the public can better understand who funds content, who owns the platform, and how monetization and influence really work.
How I would act as president
As president, I would direct federal agencies to take concentrated labor-market power, deceptive media financing, unfair ticketing structures, and hidden sponsorship more seriously. I would support an interagency approach involving the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Labor, and other relevant offices.
- Create a federal task force focused on fair contracts and creator markets.
- Prioritize enforcement against wage-fixing, no-poach arrangements, and sham independent-contractor practices.
- Push for stronger ticket-fee transparency and fairer live-entertainment market standards.
- Support model protections for AI replicas, voice use, likeness rights, and digital identity abuse.
- Promote clearer ownership and sponsorship disclosure in digital and political media.
What I can and cannot do honestly
What I can do
I can set enforcement priorities, order interagency coordination, support transparency rules, and use the power of the presidency to stand with workers, creators, and consumers against rigged systems.
What requires Congress
I will also tell the truth: deeper structural reform may require Congress, statutory changes, and long-term legal work. I will not pretend a single executive order can fix every contract problem in America.
My campaign message to the public
I am pro-worker. I am pro-creator. I am pro-small business. I am pro-voter transparency. And I am against systems that let concentrated power hide behind complexity while everyday Americans pick up the cost.
America is at its best when talent is rewarded fairly, speech is transparent, contracts are honest, and citizens can trust what they are being sold. That is the standard I will bring to this issue, and that is the standard I will fight for as president.
