Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports expanded public investment in education, healthcare, housing, and public jobs programs funded through a fair tax system and by redirecting corporate subsidies; advocates making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and opposes corporate PACs. Positions prioritize stronger labor rights, higher wages, and federal programs such as Medicare-for-All and tuition-free public college/trade school.
Healthcare
Supports a universal, single-payer healthcare system (Medicare for All) and near-term expansion of public programs like Medicare and Medicaid; backs expanding Medicare benefits (dental/vision/hearing), lowering prescription drug prices, restoring coverage for immigrants, and protections for reproductive and gender-affirming care.

Immigration & Border
Supports comprehensive immigration reform including a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants and advocates abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports reproductive rights, including repealing the Hyde Amendment to allow federal funding for abortion; also backs protections for gender‑affirming health care and limits on data collection of reproductive/sexual health information.
Climate & Energy
Campaign materials emphasize treating electricity and heat as public goods, regulating utility pricing and transparency, and supporting consumer protections; they do not present explicit national climate targets, endorsement of the Paris Agreement, Green New Deal–style proposals, or a clear fossil-fuel phase-out plan. The candidate's issue pages focus on utility regulation and affordability rather than detailed climate or energy-transition policy.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports reinstating a federal assault weapons ban, banning high-capacity magazines, requiring a license to purchase firearms, and limiting gun purchases to one per month; also supports repealing liability protections for the gun industry and restoring federal research into gun violence. Favors community-based, non-carceral public-safety investments and several policing reforms (e.g., prohibiting no‑knock warrants, reforming qualified immunity).
