Immigration & Border
The candidate has stated that ICE should be removed from the district and frames public safety and local needs as priorities; her campaign materials emphasize constituent-focused, common-sense approaches but do not list a detailed immigration platform.
Climate & Energy
Supports investment in clean energy as part of infrastructure spending and prioritizes ensuring clean-energy investments create American jobs; no explicit endorsement of Green New Deal–style targets or fossil-fuel phase-out is stated on her campaign priorities page.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate is described as a lifelong gun owner and expresses support for protecting gun ownership while seeking "common-sense" solutions; however, there are no clear, detailed policy statements located on specific gun measures (assault weapons bans, universal background checks, red flag laws, or constitutional-carry) in the available sources.
