Positions

LiberalConservative

Healthcare

Kelly Walsh’s campaign emphasizes affordability and ‘fair treatment for medical marijuana patients and lawful users,’ but public materials do not present a clear, comprehensive position on broader healthcare policy (Medicare/Medicaid, ACA, public option, or private-market reforms).

Public Safety & Guns

Supports defending gun rights and protecting constitutional gun ownership, including explicitly defending firearm rights for cannabis users while emphasizing constitutional rights. Positions emphasize preserving Second Amendment rights rather than endorsing new gun restrictions.
