Positions
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to mental health and rural healthcare services, including crisis response services, after-hours care, and strengthened support for veterans and first responders. Prioritizes expanding local treatment options (crisis stabilization, weekend/after-hours services) to reduce reliance on emergency rooms and law enforcement. Focus is on access and service expansion rather than proposals to privatize or repeal federal programs.
Immigration & Border
The candidate has expressed that the immigration system "has to change" and has described the district’s diversity as presenting a challenge; public statements found are general and do not lay out specific immigration or border policies. Available public reporting shows no detailed policy proposals or clear enforcement vs. humanitarian stance.
