Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes fiscal responsibility and lowering costs by cutting wasteful spending, auditing fraud and duplication, and applying municipal-style budget discipline rather than raising taxes. Platform language also commits to protecting Social Security and Medicare while targeting inefficiencies to preserve solvency. Prior municipal roles list experience on budget/finance committees and implementation of balanced budgets at the city level.
Healthcare
The campaign emphasizes public-safety-linked health priorities such as expanding mental-health and addiction treatment beds and addressing fentanyl trafficking, and mentions lowering costs and affordability more broadly. The site does not state clear positions on major health-system reforms like the Affordable Care Act, a public option, Medicare for All, or privatization. Overall, health positions focus on treatment access for addiction/mental health and affordability without a comprehensive stance on federal health-system policy.
