Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
Supports making healthcare affordable and preventing medical bankruptcy; emphasizes access to mental health care and expanding government-supported programs to increase affordability and access. Platform language focuses on affordable healthcare as a district priority without endorsing single-payer or full privatization.
Climate & Energy
Supports environmental justice and states children should grow up breathing clean air and drinking clean water, but the campaign materials do not lay out specific climate or energy policies (emissions targets, support for Paris/Green New Deal, fossil fuel phase-out, carbon pricing, or detailed clean energy plans).
