Positions
Economy & Taxes
Advocates taxing the ultra‑rich and corporations through measures such as a billionaire minimum tax, a wealth tax above $50 million, higher corporate taxes and minimum taxes on large firms, while reducing tax burdens for workers via expanded credits and zero federal liability for low‑income workers. Proposes taxing capital gains like wages, closing loopholes (carried interest, dynasty trusts), and redirecting revenue toward universal healthcare, housing, childcare, and green infrastructure. Supports restoring IRS capacity to audit high‑wealth filers and enforcing laws to prevent evasion.
Healthcare
Supports establishing universal, government-funded healthcare by expanding Medicare to cover everyone and eliminating premiums, deductibles, copays, and networks; calls for banning profit-seeking corporate insurance in essential care, capping hospital and drug prices, ending medical debt lawsuits, and consolidating billing into a single public system.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanded lawful pathways including pathways to citizenship for Dreamers, TPS recipients, and long-term undocumented residents; calls for clearing USCIS and court backlogs, legal representation for asylum seekers, and modernization of work visas. Opposes mass expulsions and border militarization, seeks to end criminalization of immigration (shift funding away from raids, detention, and deportations) and to protect asylum access and family unity. Advocates replacing private detention with community-based reception and ending police–ICE coordination.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate's campaign lists reproductive freedom as a core part of her platform and endorsers characterize her as a progressive who will protect and expand reproductive health care access. Her campaign materials emphasize reproductive freedom alongside health care as a priority.
Climate & Energy
Positions include climate justice as a named part of her campaign platform and prioritize progressive climate policy alongside workers’ rights and other left-leaning priorities. The campaign frames climate action as part of broader federal investment and justice-oriented goals rather than explicitly endorsing Green New Deal–level language on the site.
