Positions
Economy & Taxes

Immigration & Border
Supports abolishing ICE and dismantling the Department of Homeland Security, rebuilding border and immigration governance, and reforming the immigration system to make legal immigration accessible, safe, and streamlined. Emphasizes protecting immigrant communities and reducing deportations and detention.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports reinstating Roe v. Wade and expanding civil rights protections related to abortion access. Advocates for federal protections to restore abortion rights.
Climate & Energy
The campaign platform includes limited, specific proposals addressing environmental impacts of data centers (requiring renewable energy and water reclamation) and references renewable energy in regulatory proposals, but does not present a comprehensive climate or energy policy on the website. The broader “Environment, Water, & Land” issue page is labeled “Coming Soon,” leaving the candidate’s overall stance on emissions targets, fossil‑fuel phaseout, or large-scale clean‑energy investment unclear.
