Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports lowering costs for working families, protecting healthcare and nutrition programs, and opposing corporate giveaways and influence. Emphasizes defending social-safety-net programs and rejecting policies that favor billionaires and large corporations. These positions align with moderate progressive economic priorities rather than tax-cutting or deregulatory agendas.

Healthcare

Mitchell Berman, a registered nurse and VA emergency-room clinician, says everyone deserves quality care and pledges to protect the healthcare Wisconsinites depend on while lowering costs for working families. His campaign messaging and endorsements from nursing groups emphasize defending access to care and affordability rather than proposing single‑payer replacement of the current system.
