Positions

Economy & Taxes
Supports substantial tax increases on the very wealthy while cutting taxes for low- and middle-income households; proposes an annual wealth tax on households over $50 million and a billionaire surcharge, paired with a plan to lower federal income taxes to 1% on the first $50,000 of earnings. Positions this revenue as funding expanded government programs and affordability measures.
Healthcare
Supports creating an optional public insurance plan called “Medicare for All Who Want It” that builds on Medicare, expands coverage with subsidies, defends the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, and empowers Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Emphasizes protecting rural hospitals and expanding access to maternal and mental health care.

Climate & Energy
Supports strengthening the Environmental Protection Agency, protecting land, water, and forests from corporate polluters, opposing drilling and development on public lands, and making renewable energy and energy-efficiency measures (e.g., heat pump incentives) more affordable for Mainers.
