Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports raising the federal minimum wage (indexed to inflation), federal incentives/tax credits for businesses that pay a living wage, and champions economic-justice policies including universal health coverage and progressive economic reforms. Policy language emphasizes expanding worker wages and using tax incentives to promote fair compensation rather than proposing major tax cuts or deregulatory measures.
Healthcare
The candidate supports Medicare for All as a path to universal coverage and calls healthcare a human right. He also endorses expanding Medicaid eligibility nationally, allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, capping out-of-pocket prescription costs, and increased federal investment in mental health and substance-abuse treatment.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanded legal pathways to citizenship including co-sponsoring the American Dream and Promise Act, protection of asylum access and due-process rights for immigrants, increased funding for naturalization and legal aid, and repeal of discriminatory immigration policies.
Climate & Energy
The campaign emphasizes protecting Native American sacred sites from extractive industries and opposes projects that encroach on tribal lands. The site lists broad progressive priorities (economic justice, healthcare, education) but does not provide clear, detailed climate or energy policies such as emissions targets, support for the Paris Agreement, a Green New Deal–style plan, or explicit clean-energy/transition measures.
