Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate's campaign website says the economy should ‘grow from the working class up’ and that corporations and the wealthy should pay their fair share, while third‑party candidate questionnaires/profile entries show support for school choice and tax-credit/voucher policies. These statements present a mix of progressive tax rhetoric and some policy positions (school choice/tax credits) that are typically associated with more conservative fiscal approaches.
Healthcare
Supports guaranteeing affordable healthcare for all and decoupling healthcare from employment. Lists Medicare for All as an option to explore alongside regulated insurance-based or hybrid models and calls for federal protections for reproductive and medical privacy. Advocates strengthening Medicare and Social Security and expanding access to care for veterans and rural communities.

Supports modernizing and humanizing the immigration system while expanding capacity for enforcement oversight; favors increasing trained border agents and surveillance technology (not physical walls), appointing more immigration judges, creating lawful employment opportunities while cases are pending, and a streamlined pathway to citizenship with protections for due process and limits on unmarked raids.
