Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports progressive taxation on the ultra-wealthy and corporations, creation of a large national wealth fund to pay annual dividends (a path toward UBI), and tax penalties on corporations with very large CEO-to-worker pay ratios. Proposes financing major public investments (clean energy, housing, public power) through progressive taxes and public borrowing to expand social and economic programs.
Healthcare
The candidate supports universal healthcare and advocates moving to a single-payer system to remove the profit motive from healthcare and guarantee high-quality, free medical insurance for all. The campaign emphasizes expanding public programs and investing in reproductive and maternal care as part of a universal system.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports broad reproductive rights, stating that reproductive healthcare — including abortion — should be accessible, affordable, and unfettered. The campaign opposes the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and calls for legal protections and investments in reproductive and birthing healthcare.
Climate & Energy
The candidate calls climate collapse an existential threat and advocates dramatically ramping down fossil fuel usage while investing heavily in clean energy jobs, green technology research, public power to lower utility costs, and major transportation shifts (high-speed rail, expanded transit, electrification). The campaign proposes directing public investment (including a national wealth fund) toward the green transition and prioritizing scientific research and green technology development.
