Available campaign and news sources do not provide a detailed stance on taxing wealthy individuals, corporations, or federal tax reform.

Healthcare

Public Safety & Guns

Supports expanded gun safety measures including universal background checks, raising the minimum age for assault-style weapons, and red flag laws while favoring community-based policing rather than simply increasing police funding.
