Immigration & Border
Supports a fair immigration system including a path to citizenship for long-term residents, a functioning asylum and refugee process, and plans for border security while rejecting a blanket prohibition on arrivals.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including restoring and codifying the right to abortion (making Roe v. Wade the law of the land) and abolishing the Hyde Amendment so abortion is covered as health care.
Climate & Energy
Supports renewable, reliable energy and federal programs to help households weatherize and adopt heat pumps, mini-splits, and solar; favors climate resilience, holding polluters accountable, and targeted clean-energy incentives while acknowledging transitional energy reliability concerns (including cautious consideration of nuclear).
