Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Alan Gordon’s publicly documented tax/economic positions center on using the tax code for targeted credits tied to public benefits, including a capped cannabis social-equity tax credit and proposed income-tax or property-tax recognition for transportation-related public benefits. He has also described an economic recovery approach that uses the tax code to generate goods, services, and employment, but there is no clear broader record of support for either major tax increases or major tax cuts.
Healthcare
Supports expanded access to care for people affected by opioid addiction, including prescribed substitute drugs, overdose kits, disease management, and broader cannabis-based pain management. Also supports providing approved cannabis products without charge to eligible medical patients through a regulated pilot.

Immigration & Border
Alan Gordon says he would fight unlawful immigration enforcement actions, make clear that Rhode Islanders are safe and welcome, and defend policies that lawfully limit ICE’s ability to operate. He also says he would coordinate with state and local officials on rules for responding to federal agents and hold federal agents accountable when they violate Rhode Island law.
Climate & Energy
Alan Gordon emphasizes affordable energy, energy innovation, and challenging the Public Utilities Commission over rising electricity and distribution costs. His public statements focus on unconventional energy production and releasing energy technology for public use, rather than on emissions targets or climate regulation.
Public Safety & Guns
Alan Gordon says he would enforce Rhode Island's existing gun laws as written. In his voter guide response, he prioritizes crime broadly and does not lay out a clear position on new gun restrictions or gun-rights expansions.
