Economy & Taxes
No clear, detailed position on federal tax policy is publicly posted; available statements emphasize protecting farm markets (opposing tariffs), extending ACA subsidies, and a general preference for government that spends within its means rather than large or minimal government. These signals are mixed and do not show a distinct progressive or conservative tax stance.
Healthcare
Supports extending Affordable Care Act subsidies to improve access and expressed openness to strengthening the system while hesitating to commit to Medicare for All. Emphasizes making the health-care system work for people rather than insurance companies.
