Advocates federal standards for wages on federally funded jobs and rolling back tariffs described as hidden taxes on families.

Immigration & Border
The candidate says he supports strong border security and public safety while opposing enforcement practices that violate constitutional rights, and advocates reforming or replacing agencies like ICE/CBP if they cannot be reformed. Campaign materials highlight civil‑liberties concerns about current ICE and CBP operations but do not lay out concrete proposals for expanded legal pathways, asylum policy, or large‑scale enforcement measures. Overall the statements combine enforcement‑focused language with civil‑liberties and institutional‑reform priorities, producing mixed signals on policy detail
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports reproductive freedom and protecting reproductive rights as part of comprehensive healthcare. The campaign platform frames reproductive freedom as a protected right without specifying gestational limits or exceptions.
Climate & Energy
Supports reaching 100% clean energy by 2050 with a just transition for workers, expanding home solar, wind, and battery incentives, holding polluting corporations accountable for contamination, and investing in clean-energy innovation and weatherization programs.
