Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax relief targeted to middle-class families, working parents, small businesses, and seniors while calling for billionaires and multinational corporations to pay higher taxes; seeks to restore the SALT deduction and expand targeted tax credits (e.g., first-time homebuyer credits and property tax relief for seniors).
Healthcare
Supports treating healthcare as a human right and expanding access and affordability through measures such as allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, expanding Affordable Care Act subsidies, capping out-of-pocket costs, expanding primary care, mental health and addiction services, and cracking down on pharmacy benefit managers.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law, protecting and expanding reproductive freedom, and preserving access to contraception and IVF. The campaign platform opposes attempts to restrict reproductive care and calls for privacy protections so people are not prosecuted for seeking healthcare.
Climate & Energy
Supports investing in and expanding clean energy and modern energy infrastructure, using federal funding and tax credits to lower energy costs and create clean-energy jobs in New Jersey; prioritizes remediation of water contamination (PFAS) and holding polluters accountable. Emphasizes building a clean-energy economy and bringing federal investment to the district rather than advocating for rapid phase-out of fossil fuels or Green New Deal–style language.
