Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
Supports lowering health-care costs and protecting coverage for Americans, framing rising prices and millions losing coverage as a major problem. Public campaign materials state the goal of making health care more affordable but do not specify detailed policy proposals (for example, Medicare for All or a public option) in the cited campaign launch material.
Immigration & Border
The candidate has publicly supported stronger border security measures, including barriers and technology, while emphasizing limits on asylum fraud and the need to control unlawful crossings. Public remarks indicate acceptance of enforcement-focused responses alongside calls for law-based processes at the border.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports federal protections for abortion access and backs the Women’s Health Protection Act to preserve the right to terminate a pregnancy through viability and protect providers from state-level restrictions.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports reasonable federal gun regulations, explicitly endorsing regulation of AR-15–style semiautomatic rifles and backing commonsense measures such as improved background checks and other limits while recognizing Second Amendment constraints.
