Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports the right to choose and frames reproductive healthcare as a personal decision between an individual and their doctor. Positions indicate backing for abortion access as part of broader healthcare and bodily autonomy.
Climate & Energy
Supports clean energy and emissions-reduction measures including emission-free vehicles, expanded public transit and electric high-speed rail, recycling, ending sprawl, and actions to fight climate change now. Favors sustainable development and policies to promote locally grown food alongside infrastructure investments in clean energy.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports substantial gun restrictions: he says weapons of war should be reserved for the military, believes legal gun ownership should be limited to those who have served in the military and undergone training/evaluation, and endorses safe storage and a constitutional approach to stronger gun control. These positions favor significant firearm regulation beyond incremental measures.
