Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for working families (refundable renter tax credit and removing sales tax on essentials) while proposing tax code changes that benefit homeowners and taxing large housing development companies that fail to build affordable units; also proposes measures to limit hedge-fund purchases of homes. These positions combine tax increases on large corporate/real-estate actors with tax relief or modernization for renters and homeowners.
Immigration & Border
The candidate has supported expanding employment-based visas and refugee services while also calling for funding for Homeland Security and ICE and for limits on certain family-based entry (e.g., restricting extended-family sponsorship). Public materials thus show both pro-immigration pathway proposals and support for stronger enforcement.
