Immigration & Border
The candidate frames immigrants as a group deprived of rights and emphasizes solidarity with immigrant workers as part of a broader working‑class platform, but does not present concrete immigration or border policy proposals on his campaign site or public speech. Public materials emphasize labor rights and opposition to corporate power and war rather than specific enforcement, asylum, or regularization policies.
Climate & Energy
The candidate recognizes climate change as an emergency that disproportionately harms working-class communities, criticizes the oil industry’s role in delaying climate action, and calls for meaningful solutions and political change to address the crisis. His public materials emphasize organizing workers and challenging corporate influence as part of responding to climate risks.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate frames policing and police violence as a problem for working-class and Black communities and calls for political change to address these issues, but does not provide clear, detailed policy positions on firearms regulations, background checks, red flag laws, or specific policing reforms. Public materials emphasize a working-class platform and critique police violence without stating concrete gun-policy proposals. Overall the record shows concern about policing but no explicit stated stance on gun-policy measures.
