Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and lowering the tax burden to let workers keep more of their income and encourage business growth; she also favors balancing the federal budget and decreasing government spending. Her platform emphasizes pro-growth policies such as removing "unreasonable regulations," opposing a proposed head tax in Chicago, and using antitrust enforcement to lower consumer prices.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate emphasizes reducing violence and making communities safer while explicitly supporting law enforcement and ensuring they have the tools and resources to protect neighborhoods. Her campaign links personal experience with gun violence to priorities on crime reduction, rehabilitation, and criminal-justice reform rather than to specific new gun-restriction proposals.
