Positions
Healthcare
The candidate is a practicing physician who emphasizes practical reforms to improve access, reduce premiums, support community-based clinics, strengthen the healthcare workforce, and protect Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries. Public materials describe concerns about rising premiums and access and call for practical, outcome-focused federal reforms rather than specifying support for single-payer, a public option, or major privatization. Specific policy prescriptions are not detailed in the available campaign materials.
Climate & Energy
The candidate supports science- and data-driven approaches to climate policy, emphasizes wildfire preparedness and smarter forest management, and calls for resilient infrastructure and timely federal disaster relief. Platform language focuses on climate-related adaptation and moderate climate action rather than explicit fossil‑fuel phaseouts or Green New Deal–style commitments.
