Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports higher taxes on the very wealthy and corporate accountability, including a billionaire minimum tax and lifting the payroll tax cap so wealthier individuals pay payroll taxes at the same percentage as workers; advocates tax and regulatory changes to level the playing field for small businesses and fund expanded public investments.

Healthcare

Supports treating healthcare as a right, protecting healthcare subsidies, and lowering out-of-pocket costs; favors government action to expand access and reduce medical financial burdens. No explicit endorsement of single-payer or Medicare for All is stated in available campaign materials.

Immigration & Border

Supports a common-sense immigration system that secures the border while ending labor exploitation; prioritizes enforcement resources on public-safety threats (criminals, gangs, traffickers) and calls for a clear legal path to citizenship for people who are working and paying taxes.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting the right to abortion and ensuring that people have the freedom to choose abortion for their health and family decisions without interference from politicians. Advocates federal protection of abortion access as part of her campaign platform.

Climate & Energy

Supports large-scale clean energy development (including offshore wind), federal investment in coastal resiliency and transit, and policies to lower energy costs while emphasizing union jobs and energy independence. Prioritizes transitioning to renewable energy through workforce-focused clean energy projects rather than opposing such transitions.
