Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for working-class households and small businesses while prioritizing sustained public investment in transportation, infrastructure, education, and public services; emphasizes budget responsibility that protects workers and retirees and preserves automatic stabilizers. Proposes credits/incentives and relief (including side‑hustle and permanent property tax relief) alongside direct public investment and support for unions and well‑paid careers. The platform favors using federal revenue predictably to fund public services rather than proposing large-scale tax cuts or彻
Healthcare
The candidate supports policies addressing healthcare cost controls, access, veterans’ care, and mental health but provides only general goals rather than specific policy proposals. Public materials mention concern about insurance coverage gaps (e.g., stem cell treatments not covered) and a commitment to pursue legislative changes. The overall position is broadly pro-access but lacks clear alignment with a specific healthcare reform approach (e.g., Medicare for All, public option, or market-based reforms).

Immigration & Border
Supports creating expedited legal status/pathways to work and citizenship for people brought into the U.S. under recent presidential policies and proposes fast-track asylum decisions and organized workforce pathways while also calling for securing the border and strengthened enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports equal reproductive rights and lists "equal reproductive rights" as a policy priority on her campaign website. Public-facing summaries of her platform describe abortion/contraception under the heading of equal reproductive rights without specifying gestational limits or detailed policy prescriptions.
Climate & Energy
Jennifer Cross supports expanding domestic energy production and reducing federal regulation while also listing Chesapeake Bay protection and flood mitigation among environmental priorities. Her platform emphasizes practical infrastructure and local environmental measures rather than aggressive federal emissions targets or large-scale clean-energy commitments.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate’s campaign materials list public safety as a priority, emphasizing crime-prevention funding and support for emergency services, but do not state specific positions on firearm policy (e.g., background checks, assault weapons, red flag laws, or concealed-carry).
