Immigration & Border
The candidate has a mixed record on immigration: he has opposed measures that would expand ICE authorities or broadly restrict asylum/deportation protections, but has also voted in favor of some enforcement-focused bills and broken with Democrats on select border/security measures. Overall his positions combine both enforcement-oriented votes and pro-immigrant protections.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding abortion access and reproductive rights, including defending Roe v. Wade and opposing restrictions that limit access to abortion and reproductive healthcare. Has legislative and advocacy record in office promoting reproductive freedom and received endorsements from pro-choice organizations.
Climate & Energy
Supports ambitious climate action and a transition to clean energy through legislation and investments in green infrastructure and resilience while engaging in state and federal policymaking on emissions, clean energy, and wildfire preparedness. Has authored and supported climate-related bills and received endorsements and high scores from major environmental organizations. Focus is on clean energy investment, climate accountability, and climate resilience rather than explicit calls to immediately phase out all fossil fuels.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strong gun-violence prevention measures including banning sales of firearms and ammunition on state property, restricting gun shows on public grounds, and endorses assault-weapon bans and universal background checks to reduce gun violence.
