Immigration & Border
Supports reform that creates legal pathways and protections for immigrants, including measures favorable to DREAMers and administrative regularization, while opposing stricter refugee screening measures enacted in 2015. Emphasizes humane, pro-immigrant framing and criticizes Republican opposition to policies that would help undocumented immigrants. Policy record includes votes against legislation that would have tightened refugee screening and against measures restricting administrative relief for some undocumented immigrants.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports access to safe, legal abortion and public funding for abortion care; has co-sponsored federal legislation protecting abortion access and has publicly defended abortion as not being murder.
Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive domestic clean-energy investment and renewable technologies while accepting transitional fossil-fuel use; sponsored or voted for cap-and-trade style legislation (the 2009 American Clean Energy and Security Act) and has publicly described climate change as an existential threat. Advocates incentives for energy efficiency and development of solar, wind, geothermal and other renewable domestic energy sources.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports restrictions on high‑capacity/AR‑style rifles and argued for limiting access to such weapons after mass shootings. His public statements frame those restrictions as a way to reduce mass‑casualty attacks while not opposing gun ownership generally.
