LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes

Immigration & Border
Supports a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and other long-term undocumented workers, protection of asylum access and humanitarian measures, while also backing increased border resources and technology (CBP personnel, non-intrusive inspection tech, and targeted fencing/sensors) and additional funding for immigration courts and detention capacity.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports access to abortion and is affiliated with pro-choice organizations in Congress while voting against restrictive measures; opposes strict bans though not framed as advocating unrestricted access without limits. Positions and membership indicate support for maintaining abortion access with some policy boundaries.
Climate & Energy
Supports addressing climate change through investments in clean energy, climate-related provisions in infrastructure and farm policy, and programs to help agricultural and rural communities adapt to changing weather. Emphasizes renewable energy, energy efficiency, and using federal programs to lower energy costs while building resilience in agriculture and disadvantaged communities.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks and other measures to restrict access to dangerous or untraceable firearms (including regulating 'ghost guns'), while recognizing lawful gun ownership. Has a legislative record from prior state service of sponsoring laws that created background-check requirements and has urged executive action and policy to curb un-serialized/untraceable weapons and consider additional reforms.
