Available public campaign pages show general priorities for economic nationalism/reshoring and directing federal spending, but do not contain clear, concrete tax policy prescriptions.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports reinstating Roe v. Wade and describes reproductive freedom as a fundamental right, stating that personal medical decisions belong to individuals and families rather than politicians or courts.
Climate & Energy
The candidate has publicly committed to refusing fossil-fuel industry campaign money and is running as a Democratic candidate in CA-26, indicating support for climate action and alignment with progressive clean-energy priorities without explicitly endorsing Green New Deal–level policies.
