Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
The candidate lists affordable healthcare as a campaign priority and says she has personal experience navigating a “broken healthcare system,” but does not provide detailed policy prescriptions on the campaign site or other linked profiles. Available public materials emphasize access and affordability as goals without specifying support for particular reforms (e.g., Medicare for All, a public option, or specific market-based changes).
Climate & Energy
Supports environmental justice, clean water, stormwater management, and sustainable operations; emphasizes protecting water quality and public health and advancing clean water infrastructure and environmental protections. Focuses on equitable investment for communities affected by pollution and climate impacts rather than advocating for explicit fossil-fuel phaseouts or Green New Deal–style language.
