Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax fairness measures that close loopholes allowing billionaires to pay lower rates, restore IRS capacity, and raise employer payroll contributions to shore up Social Security and Medicare funding while cutting taxes for middle- and working-class families.
Healthcare
Supports protecting Social Security and Medicare, lowering insurance rates, and taking action against insurance companies that raise costs. Emphasizes bringing down healthcare costs and ensuring access to care for families. No explicit support for single-payer or Medicare-for-All is stated in the cited materials.

Immigration & Border
Supports controlling the border while calling for a sensible immigration policy that meets workforce needs and welcomes those fleeing persecution; supports a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who are productive members of communities and criticizes heavy-handed ICE tactics.
Climate & Energy
Supports acknowledging climate change, restoring sensible environmental regulations, encouraging sustainable business practices and renewable energy, and speeding regulatory approval while protecting parks. Emphasizes clean energy incentives and workforce pathways tied to renewable industries rather than advocating for immediate phase-out of fossil fuels or Green New Deal–level measures.
