Positions
Economy & Taxes
Spencer Thibodeau has advocated seeking new local revenue sources (for example a per-passenger cruise-ship fee) and pushing for more state revenue-sharing to help reduce property-tax burdens while supporting policies to grow the workforce and local economy. Public reporting also records him opposing a citywide sick-leave proposal in favor of relying on state law, showing a mix of pro-revenue and business‑friendly positions. Overall his statements emphasize finding targeted revenue and economic-development measures rather than a clear embrace of major tax increases or broad tax cuts.
Healthcare
Positions emphasize expanding local health and substance-use services and practical municipal responses, while opposing at least some local mandates such as a citywide sick-leave proposal citing state preemption. Public statements and campaign materials focus on improving access to services rather than endorsing large federal programs like Medicare for All or a specific statewide health-plan overhaul.

Emphasizes clean energy investment, transportation/mobility changes, and working on climate-related policy through government and intergovernmental roles.
