Immigration & Border
The candidate vetoed a Pontiac City Council resolution that opposed federal deportations and wrote that it is inappropriate for a local government to obstruct or denounce enforcement of laws, signaling support for existing federal immigration enforcement while rejecting municipal obstruction. Campaign materials emphasize general priorities like economic and family issues but do not lay out a contrasting immigration-reform platform.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding women’s access to reproductive and women’s health care and opposes legislative measures that impose restrictive or intrusive abortion requirements. Has criticized Republican bills that would overregulate abortion care and has backed legislative proposals to improve access to women’s health services.
Climate & Energy
Supports federal and state actions to reduce emissions and increase renewable energy and energy efficiency; has publicly praised the Clean Power Plan and has a pro-environment voting record in state office. Emphasizes clean energy investment and policies that balance affordability and job creation while advancing emissions reductions.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports common-sense gun safety reforms and greater regulation of firearms while engaging in legislative discussion about workable firearm regulations for Michiganders. Criticizes the influence of the NRA on lawmakers and has called for substantive debate on firearm policy rather than theatrical measures that block regulation.
