Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports raising taxes on very high-income individuals and closing corporate and wealthy-person tax loopholes while providing tax relief for working- and middle-class families; would use revenue from higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations to pay for expanded domestic investments and programs without raising middle-class taxes. Advocates specific measures such as a surcharge on multi-millionaires, a minimum tax rate for top earners, tighter estate taxation, and closing corporate inversion and offshore loopholes.
Healthcare
Supports defending and expanding the Affordable Care Act, building on it to increase access (including a public-option plan and allowing older adults to buy into Medicare) while opposing a full single‑payer/Medicare‑for‑All replacement.

Immigration & Border
Supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway to full citizenship, protections for DREAMers and asylum access, while prioritizing deportation for violent criminals and improving border security and enforcement targeting. Backs ending family detention and closing private detention centers, expanding legal immigration channels and integration services. Advocates limiting interior enforcement to public-safety threats rather than large-scale roundups.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports legal access to abortion and has called for codifying Roe v. Wade and repealing the Hyde Amendment while also saying she would support bans on certain late-term abortions with exceptions to protect the life and health of the mother. Advocates expanding access to contraception and reproductive-health services and opposes restrictions that make abortion inaccessible.
Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive clean-energy goals and emissions reductions while allowing transitional use of lower-carbon fossil fuels under strict regulation. Advocates implementing and extending standards like the Clean Power Plan, large federal investment in renewable energy and efficiency, and measures to reduce oil consumption and cut carbon pollution. Expresses conditional support for hydraulic fracturing with strong safeguards and local control rather than an outright ban.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded/universal background checks, closing gun-show/internet and the “Charleston” loophole, reinstating an assault-weapons ban and other measures to keep guns from domestic abusers, the severely mentally ill, and people on terrorism watch lists.
News
Recent reports focus on the Democratic National Committee launching a major, multi-million-dollar voter registration initiative, shifting work often handled by nonprofits into a more directly partisan DNC-run effort. The program is set to begin in Arizona and Nevada, targeting young voters, voters of color, and people without college degrees to strengthen Democratic electoral prospects. Hillary Clinton is not specifically mentioned, but the initiative relates to the broader Democratic political infrastructure in which she has been a prominent figure.
