As an Iranian-American with a storied past that spans continents, ideologies, and religions, I've developed a keen interest in the political promises that shape our nation's future.

Here, I provide an exhaustive list and analysis of these promises, forecasting their impact on our society and governance.

  • Analysis: These cuts could increase disposable income for families and growth opportunities for small businesses, fostering a more robust economic environment.

9. Judicial Appointments
