Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports progressive tax and regulatory changes that shift wealth from corporations and landlords to workers and communities, including a land value tax on vacant/corporately-held land, limits on corporate ownership of single-family homes, taxes on automation to fund a national dividend, and measures to create low-cost mutual credit/community banking. Also supports abolishing tariffs on consumer tech while imposing duties on profit-maximizing corporations and expanding public investment in social housing and community land trusts.

Immigration & Border

The candidate frames immigrants positively and rejects criminalizing them, expressing that "immigrants are not the enemy" and including the phrase "No human being is illegal," indicating a pro-immigrant, humanitarian approach to immigration policy without detailed enforcement proposals on the campaign site.

Climate & Energy

The candidate’s campaign materials express concern about climate collapse and protecting future generations and use progressive language (e.g., “A New Deal for Our Generation”), but they do not lay out specific climate or energy policies (such as emissions targets, Paris Agreement endorsement, fossil-fuel phaseout, or clean-energy programs).
