Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate supports redirecting public funds toward broad public goods (housing, education, transportation) and criticizes economic favoritism toward wealthy donors and special contracts. The campaign says taxes themselves are not inherently problematic and emphasizes using government resources to reduce inequality and improve services for low-income residents. Policy proposals focus on reallocating spending and rewarding those who provide low-income housing rather than explicit calls for major tax cuts or austerity.

Immigration & Border

The candidate supports maintaining Seattle’s role as a welcoming city for immigrants and protecting immigrant rights at the local level. The campaign emphasizes defending the city against federal actions that would disrupt immigrant protections and inclusive local policies.

Climate & Energy

Supports strong local action on climate through systemic changes: mandates for recyclable/compostable products, a transportation-technology “revolution” to greatly increase efficiency and cut transportation carbon, and policies that promote denser, mixed-use neighborhoods to reduce per-person carbon footprints.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports reducing gun violence through accountability and regulation of gun ownership while emphasizing public-safety measures and criminal accountability. Advocates community-focused prevention and policies that hold gun owners responsible for safety in their communities.
