Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate emphasizes economic issues such as a living and prevailing wage, affordable healthcare, and affordability for families, but public campaign materials located do not state specific tax proposals or clear positions on raising or cutting taxes. Available public coverage and campaign fundraising pages describe economic priorities without explicit tax-policy prescriptions.

Healthcare

Supports affordable, accessible health care and lists making healthcare affordable for families as a key campaign issue. Focuses on expanding access rather than advocating for single-payer policies.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting medical professionals' ability to treat patients without fear of criminal penalties and frames healthcare access as a priority, indicating support for reproductive healthcare access while not specifying unlimited access. The campaign materials emphasize affordable healthcare and that doctors should be able to treat patients without threat of jail.
