Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports public investment to expand affordable housing and diversify the local tech economy, using mechanisms like federal affordable housing tax credits and county-led redevelopment to increase homeownership and reinvest in communities. Advocates reforms to property tax assessment processes for greater transparency and taxpayer protections rather than across-the-board tax cuts.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports abortion rights at the federal level but advocates limits on how many abortions a person may have. Intends to work to codify abortion access into federal law while favoring some restrictions on repeat procedures outside exceptions such as rape or incest.

Climate & Energy

Supports federal infrastructure investment and clean-energy-related funding, has said Pennsylvania should move away from fossil fuels as soon as possible because of air quality and public-health impacts, and advocates government support for clean-technology startups and environmental projects.

Public Safety & Guns

Positions emphasize addressing gun violence through federal investment in communities, funding violence-interruption programs, and reducing the influence of the gun lobby rather than detailing specific firearm policy prescriptions. Public statements focus on economic and community interventions as the primary approach to reducing gun violence.
