🛠️ The Right to Repair and Durable Goods Act of 2025

Because Hoosiers shouldn’t have to throw away what they can fix.

The problem

• Trash day reality: Older appliances keep running; newer ones pile up on the curb.
• Designed to fail: Sealed parts, missing manuals, and blocked diagnostics push families to replace instead of repair.
• Disposable economy: Households eat replacement costs every few years for products that used to last decades.
• Profit over common sense: Corporate design tricks drain family budgets and create avoidable waste.

The solution

• Repairability standards: Appliances must be designed to be fixed and kept in service.
• Parts & documentation: Manufacturers must provide parts, schematics, and repair guides for at least 10 years.
• Repairability score label: A 1–10 score on every appliance so buyers know before they buy.
• Consumer rights: Fix it yourself or use a local shop without voiding your warranty.

The impact

• Household savings: Families save billions by repairing instead of replacing.
• Job creation: Local repair shops and parts distributors grow, adding thousands of skilled jobs.
• Waste reduction: Millions fewer appliances landfilled each year.
• Fairness: No more forcing a new purchase when a $20 part will do.

The contrast

• Career politicians: Shrug while corporations cash in.
• This campaign: Writes the fix, publishes receipts, and puts families first.

Bottom line: If you buy it, you should be able to fix it. That’s common sense. That’s what this bill delivers.
