Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports a major tax-code overhaul that reduces income taxes for most working Americans while shifting more of the tax burden onto land (a federal land value tax) and eliminating many deductions and loopholes; he also proposes a Negative Income Tax to support low-earning workers. These proposals pair targeted tax cuts for workers with revenue-raising reforms aimed at reducing wealth-based loopholes and discouraging land speculation.
Healthcare
Supports universal access to primary care, a state-based public insurance option for hospital care and serious illness, and caps most prescription drugs at $5 to lower costs.

Climate & Energy
Supports large federal investment in clean energy innovation (notably a $120 billion ‘Fusion Fund’ to accelerate commercial fusion) and nature-based climate action including a national plan to plant 100 billion trees by 2050; frames these as job-creating, emissions-reducing measures and emphasizes grid integration for new energy technologies.
