Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports targeted taxes on financial speculation and policies that raise revenue to fund expanded social programs (universal health care, tuition-free college, student debt cancellation) while prioritizing workers’ rights and reducing the influence of wealthy interests.

Healthcare

Supports creating a single-payer Medicare for All system that provides universal coverage including vision and dental, plus policies to keep rural hospitals open and lower prescription drug costs. Advocates expanding public programs and cancelling medical debt as part of broader universal-care reforms.

Immigration & Border

Supports welcoming immigrants and opposes actions that detain legal immigrants or U.S. citizens without due process; frames immigration enforcement abuses as civil liberties concerns and emphasizes inclusion. Policy language on the campaign site emphasizes immigrants are welcome but does not lay out a detailed legislative plan such as a specific pathway to citizenship.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting reproductive freedom, including the right to choose and access to abortion care, and protecting medical privacy so politicians cannot dictate personal healthcare decisions. The campaign platform frames these policies as part of protecting women’s health and rights and expanding rural healthcare access.

Climate & Energy

Supports recognizing climate change as real and prioritizes combating climate change through investments to protect land, livelihoods, and clean up waterways; frames environmental protection as part of a broader sustainable future. Policy language emphasizes sustainable clean-energy goals and environmental remediation rather than explicit calls to immediately phase out fossil fuels.
