Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports progressive economic policies including raising the minimum wage to a living wage above $17/hr and strengthening Social Security by removing the current wage cap so corporations pay higher contributions; favors measures to shift tax burdens onto corporations and the ultra-wealthy to fund expanded social supports.

Healthcare

The candidate supports a universal healthcare program for all and criticizes private insurers as gatekeepers that create unequal access to care. They say insurance companies, the healthcare industry, and government together have become barriers to necessary medical treatment based on personal medical struggles.
