Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax relief targeted at the middle class while closing loopholes so the ultra-wealthy and large corporations pay more; proposes tax-code reform alongside pro-worker policies (raising the minimum wage, supporting unions) and targeted investments in housing, infrastructure, and healthcare.
Healthcare
The candidate supports expanding access to affordable health care by protecting and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, expanding coverage to include dental, vision, and mental health services, lowering prescription drug costs, and reducing medical debt. He describes health care as a human right and favors restoring funding to government programs, while saying a national single-payer system is not politically feasible at present.

Immigration & Border
The candidate has opposed local law enforcement cooperation with ICE’s 287(g) program and criticized county-level partnerships with federal immigration enforcement. His public remarks frame such cooperation as dangerous and call for limits on local participation in immigration enforcement rather than expanded enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports abortion as healthcare and believes women should be able to make their own reproductive healthcare choices without government interference; expresses support for funding Planned Parenthood and for protecting access to reproductive health care.
Climate & Energy
Supports modernizing infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions, expand clean energy, and create jobs; has championed county-level climate action including a County Climate Action Plan, a sustainability director, and resolutions toward 100% renewable energy. Advocates clean energy incentives and investments while framing climate action alongside economic and infrastructure policy.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports common-sense gun-safety laws including restrictions on assault-style weapons and limits on firearm access for certain high-risk individuals, while also backing funding for local law enforcement and community-based public-safety strategies (co-responder programs, addiction and mental-health treatment).
