Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports raising wages and expanding social-safety-net programs while funding new programs in part through taxes on corporate/AI-generated revenues and other targeted revenue measures; favors using federal investment (infrastructure, education, job programs) alongside measures to reduce dependence on social programs. Also advocates a structurally balanced federal budget and paying down the national debt while protecting and expanding benefits like Social Security.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes accessible and affordable healthcare and proposes a nationwide secure medical records system; specific positions on insurance coverage models (e.g., Medicare for All, public option, or ACA expansion) are not stated. Policy materials highlight improving the medical system and reducing costs but do not identify clear support for major single-payer or explicitly market-based reforms.

Immigration & Border
Supports immigration reform that increases legal immigration to expand the workforce and strengthen programs like Social Security; frames immigration as an economic benefit while also proposing domestic labor programs to address farm labor shortages. Positions emphasize reform and legal pathways alongside pragmatic labor-focused solutions.
Climate & Energy
Supports active climate solutions including carbon removal technologies and resilience investments for flooding and agriculture; favors federal funding and research for climate adaptation and clean‑tech approaches. Emphasizes integrating climate resilience into infrastructure and agricultural policy rather than advocating to preserve or expand fossil fuels.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports firearm-safety measures that preserve Second Amendment rights while requiring safer storage and encouraging safety technology and accountability. Proposes incentives and requirements for secure storage, training, and development/adoption of “smart gun” technologies and centralized mental-health records to inform firearm purchases.
