Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports protecting and expanding programs that reduce costs for working families and criticizes tax cuts for the billionaire class; emphasizes using public resources to help ordinary Americans facing higher costs. No explicit proposal for major tax-rate overhauls was found in the sourced materials.
Healthcare
The candidate says healthcare costs and premiums are too high and pledges to cut costs for families, but public materials and news coverage for his campaign do not lay out specific policy proposals (for example, public option, Medicare expansion, or market-based reforms).
