Economy & Taxes
Leela Gray emphasizes tackling the cost-of-living crisis—lowering housing, insurance, healthcare, and everyday costs—and calls for enforcement against corporate fraud and greater transparency. She identifies drivers of inflation as tariffs, supply-chain problems, political corruption, burdensome regulations, and corporate monopolies and says solutions should focus on those drivers rather than creating more bureaucracy. Her campaign materials do not state a clear position on tax changes (e.g., tax increases or cuts) or specific tax policy proposals.
Healthcare
Supports protecting and strengthening Medicare and Social Security, ensuring veterans can access quality healthcare and benefits, and addressing children’s mental health and access to care.

Climate & Energy
Supports protecting beaches, waterways, and the coastal economy and calls for a permanent ban on offshore drilling. Emphasizes treating coastal and water infrastructure as critical to local economic security.
