Positions
Economy & Taxes
Describes himself as a pragmatic/Blue Dog Democrat who emphasizes fiscal conservatism and finding cost-saving investments while supporting targeted public investments (for example, advocating universal pre-K). Prioritizes fixing Medicare/entitlement funding through payment-reform to reduce long-term budget strain rather than proposing clear tax increases or major tax cuts. Overall public statements combine fiscal restraint language with support for some expanded federal programs, producing mixed signals on tax policy.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to behavioral and rural health services, increasing telemedicine, and preserving and protecting Medicare while working to improve access and affordability. Emphasizes investments in mental health services, fentanyl crisis response, and broadband to support telehealth in rural communities.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports stronger border enforcement and increased funding for border personnel, immigration judges, and detection equipment while also stating that the U.S. needs immigrants for workforce needs such as nursing. Statements combine enforcement-focused proposals (more police, judges, capacity to 'shut down the border' when needed, fentanyl detection) with recognition of immigrants' economic role, creating mixed signals on overall policy direction.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate is pro-choice and frames abortion as a women’s health issue, favoring medical decision-making between patient and provider rather than restrictive laws. He has described the topic as nuanced from his experience as a physician and supports trusting women and health-care providers on reproductive decisions.
Climate & Energy
The candidate describes climate change as an emergency and calls for action to protect clean air and water. His public statements criticize fossil-fuel-friendly legislation and endorse policies to preserve a healthy, clean environment for future generations.
