Positions
Economy & Taxes
Jazz Hampton’s campaign platform emphasizes targeted economic tools: tax incentives for businesses that pay a living wage and other measures to support small businesses, while prioritizing investments in housing, workers, and public safety. He has opposed direct public subsidies for a new arena and highlights concerns about residents feeling the burden of property taxes relative to received services. Overall, his positions combine incentive-based tax policy for workers/small business with reluctance to use large direct subsidies, producing a mixed stance on taxes and government spending.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to mental health and substance-use treatment services, strengthening unarmed/behavioral-crisis response teams, and coordinating housing with on-site mental and medical care for people exiting homelessness. Emphasizes investment in city-run or partnered programs to increase access to behavioral health services rather than privatization or repeal of public programs.

Immigration & Border
Jazz Hampton supports strengthening city services for immigrant communities and has criticized local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Climate & Energy
Supports climate action and clean-energy-focused policy as part of his mayoral priorities, calling for “bold climate solutions” and climate action alongside housing, safety, and economic opportunity. Emphasizes working with existing city initiatives and partnerships to advance climate and environmental goals rather than advocating for radical fossil-fuel phaseouts or national-level withdrawal from agreements.
