Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports policies to raise wages and expand targeted tax benefits and housing assistance, including proposals for a higher minimum wage, a down-payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers, and a refundable tax credit for renters. Emphasizes economic opportunity and housing affordability rather than broad tax cuts.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes affordability and lowering costs for households, including reducing what people spend on healthcare, but public statements found do not specify clear healthcare policy prescriptions (for example, support for Medicare for All, a public option, or market-based reforms). Available sources describe a general focus on affordability without detailed policy positions on coverage or specific reforms.
