Immigration & Border
Supports fixing the U.S. immigration system and protecting immigrant families and students from enforcement actions; has advanced local protections (Safe Haven resolution) to keep schools safe regardless of immigration status and criticizes large-scale deportation efforts.
Climate & Energy
Supports a Green New Deal-style national program to transition the economy to clean energy, make polluters pay, stop new fossil fuel projects, and prioritize frontline communities for climate investments; also emphasizes wildfire protections, public transit expansion, zero-emission vehicles, and restoring federal clean-energy programs and standards.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports community-based violence prevention, investments in youth services, and efforts to remove firearms from streets while emphasizing public-safety measures that go beyond policing. Has questioned certain police technologies (voted against renewing a ShotSpotter gunshot-detection contract) and frames safety as combining law-enforcement response with community investments. Campaign materials prioritize safer communities and reducing harms from militarized enforcement while protecting immigrant communities.
