Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports job creation and targeted economic opportunity programs while opposing a proposed 1-cent sales tax increase for transit funding, arguing it would burden low-income families. The campaign emphasizes fiscal accountability and transparency in city budgets.

Climate & Energy

The candidate’s public materials emphasize infrastructure, affordable housing, and transparent government and mention transportation and transit priorities but do not present detailed climate or energy policy (no commitments to emissions targets or fossil-fuel phase-out). He opposed the proposed one-cent transportation sales tax referendum and frames transit/infrastructure policy around equity and cost-effectiveness rather than explicit climate goals.
