Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes

Advocates using those revenues to lower deficits and provide tax breaks that help middle- and lower-income households (for example, credits to make housing and family formation more affordable).
Healthcare
Supports Medicare for All with an opt-out for those who prefer private insurance and advocates expanding Medicare and Medicaid negotiation power to lower prescription drug prices.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports cutting ICE funding to pre‑Trump levels, replacing ICE with a new federal immigration agency, launching investigations into ICE practices, and enacting strict limits on federal immigration-enforcement actions and accountability measures for federal agents. The campaign platform calls for stronger protections for immigrants against what it describes as abusive or illegal ICE operations and for restoring legal safeguards and oversight.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports women’s reproductive freedom, seeks to restore Roe v. Wade as law after Dobbs, and advocates guaranteeing reproductive rights in both law and access by expanding affordable, accessible reproductive health care. The campaign emphasizes making legal rights practical by addressing health-care deserts and affordability so women can actually exercise their choices.
Climate & Energy
Supports action on climate change and clean energy investments, emphasizes protecting clean air and water, and backed state-level measures funding renewable energy projects and clean car standards. Focuses on addressing climate impacts to local industries and infrastructure while supporting investments and regulations to reduce emissions.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks and other common-sense gun safety measures (including reporting lost/stolen guns and enforcing straw-purchaser laws) while indicating enforcement of existing laws; has also called for pursuing red flag-style measures.
