Immigration & Border
Supports bipartisan immigration reform that combines stronger border/orderly security measures with expanded legal pathways and protections for long-term residents and certain humanitarian programs. Advocates practical enforcement improvements (more agents, technology, ports of entry) while backing relief for longtime undocumented residents, TPS recipients, and work-authority for eligible immigrants. Seeks bipartisan, common-sense solutions rather than maximalist enforcement-only or broad open-border positions.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports legal access to abortion and says he will work to keep New York a model for safe, legal, and accessible abortion care. Has a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood and has been endorsed by reproductive-rights organizations for his pro‑choice record. Has described efforts to reduce abortions through support for mothers, contraception education, and adoption while opposing measures that would restrict access nationally.
Climate & Energy
Tom Suozzi has a long record of supporting clean water, recycling, brownfield cleanup, and federal funding for Long Island Sound and other environmental infrastructure while also opposing certain state-level carbon-pricing measures that would unilaterally assign costs to carbon. His positions combine active support for local clean-environment and clean-energy investments with caution about policies that he views would raise energy costs for residents.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports universal background checks, federal extreme risk (red flag) laws, and other gun safety measures including bans on assault weapons and regulation of ghost guns; has a record of voting for major gun safety bills and advancing local buyback programs. Advocates for bipartisan gun violence prevention legislation and praises passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
