Immigration & Border
Supports a fair, humane, and orderly immigration system that pairs strong border security and modernized asylum processing with protections for DACA recipients, birthright citizenship, and an earned pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants without felony convictions. Opposes policies that rely on cruelty or chaos and favors restoring due process and keeping families together. Advocates overhauling ICE with strengthened oversight and accountability while restoring prior funding levels for the agency.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports broad reproductive freedoms, including access to contraception, abortion care, and maternal healthcare, and opposes government interference in medical decisions. The candidate endorses federal protections for abortion access such as the Women’s Health Protection Act and related reproductive-health accessibility legislation.
Climate & Energy
Supports rejoining the Paris Agreement, increased FEMA funding for climate-driven disasters, and expansion of clean energy including solar and wind; opposes policies that would weaken EPA staffing and carbon sequestration protections. Emphasizes infrastructure investment (broadband) and shields communities from rushed data center approvals while backing clean energy incentives. No evidence found of support for Green New Deal–style fossil-fuel phase-outs or explicit carbon-pricing proposals.
