Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports expanding federal spending on social programs (notably proposing a Universal Healthcare Act and a Family Insurance Act) and opposes federal budget cuts that reduce services to Montana; frames federal tax dollars as necessary to fund education, healthcare, rural programs, and public lands protections.

Healthcare

The candidate supports establishing universal healthcare and is drafting a Universal Healthcare Act that would guarantee healthcare as a federally protected right and create a public network people can buy into. The campaign also proposes expanding dependent coverage and other measures (e.g., a Family Insurance Act to allow children to remain on parents’ plans until age 35) to reduce medical debt and support rural hospitals.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports legal access to abortion and has been active in organizing and advocating for reproductive rights in Montana, including support for CI-128 which enshrined abortion protections in the state. Describes involvement with Montana March for Reproductive Rights and frames CI-128 as critical women's healthcare legislation.

Climate & Energy

Supports protecting public lands and balancing economic and environmental goals through a Montana-focused planning initiative that references the state climate assessment; favors policies that prevent opening public lands to private sale or fossil-fuel-driven development and advocates coordinated clean-energy and resilience planning.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports proactive, responsible gun laws that emphasize education and safety while encouraging responsible ownership; calls for guardrails addressing mental health and hunter safety. Does not express outright support for repealing gun rights and frames policy as regulation and education to protect communities.
