Positions
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.
