Immigration & Border
The candidate's campaign materials frame immigration as a tension between welcoming refugees and restrictive border approaches but do not present concrete policy proposals or clear enforcement preferences. Public platform language emphasizes humanitarian values but lacks specific legislative or enforcement commitments.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports legal access to abortion during early pregnancy while endorsing more restrictions in the second and third trimesters with exceptions for the health of the mother and severe fetal abnormalities; advocates expanded contraception access, comprehensive sex education, and support for pregnant people and parents as ways to reduce unintended pregnancies.
Climate & Energy
Supports active federal action to address climate change through programs that create jobs to harden communities against disasters, expand weatherization and community solar, and decarbonize households; endorses large-scale public investment in resilience, clean energy deployment, and workforce training rather than preservation of the status quo.
