Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The campaign emphasizes job creation, affordable housing, and policies that reward work while using tax incentives to spur private-sector solutions; proposals include tying business incentives to employee wages and reducing capital gains taxes for qualified housing developments. The platform also proposes tying federal healthcare research/subsidies to pricing to lower premiums. These positions combine pro-worker policies with targeted tax reductions and incentives, producing a mixed overall stance on taxes and the economy.
Healthcare
Supports government action to lower healthcare costs by tying public research and subsidy grants to drug and insurance pricing to reduce premiums and expand affordability. Emphasizes making healthcare more affordable as a campaign priority and has served on the state Health Insurance Advisory Council.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting abortion access and taking local measures to help residents obtain abortion care (including expanding employee health coverage for out-of-state care and directing local resources to avoid prosecuting providers). Calls for local leadership to mitigate harms from restrictions and for action at city or federal/state levels to preserve reproductive health options.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports community-based approaches to reduce gun violence, emphasizing mental-health services and violence-intervention programs while pursuing measures to improve gun safety. Backs policing reforms such as Group Violence Intervention to get officers patrolling and building community trust rather than defunding police. Does not express an absolutist pro-gun or anti-regulation stance and frames policy around harm reduction and local decision-making.
