Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports reversing tax cuts for the very wealthy and prioritizes policies that favor people and communities over large corporations. She frames the economy around affordability challenges for working families and criticizes corporate consolidation in sectors like healthcare.
Healthcare
Kathy Durham criticizes consolidation in the healthcare industry and frames healthcare as driven by corporate profit, emphasizing "people over profits" without specifying a detailed policy prescription. Public statements focus on affordability and opposing corporate control of healthcare rather than endorsing a particular reform such as Medicare for All or a specific market-based alternative. Overall her public comments on healthcare are general and do not clearly map to a single policy approach.

Her statements emphasize expanding legal pathways and protecting procedural rights rather than advocating enforcement-only measures.

Public Safety & Guns
The candidate has expressed support for at least some firearm restrictions (for example, saying 18‑year‑olds should not be able to buy guns). There is limited public documentation of a broader, detailed gun‑policy platform.
