Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports policies to promote a business-friendly environment and reduce regulations that hinder growth, while emphasizing support for small businesses and workforce development. Prioritizes strengthening Social Security funding without cutting benefits and promoting community economic development and job creation.

Healthcare

The candidate’s campaign website emphasizes support for seniors (including a proposed "person-to-person Senior Access Hotline") and general commitments to protecting families and seniors, but does not present a clear, detailed policy on health coverage, Medicare/Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, or broader healthcare system reforms.

Immigration & Border

Supports creating pathways to legal status and allowing undocumented immigrants to work, while emphasizing monitoring of newcomers. Advocates streamlining legal processes and balancing humanitarian access with oversight.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports a woman's right to choose and said abortion decisions are best left to the woman. He opposed imposing a federal ban and indicated the choice should remain with women rather than government intervention.

Climate & Energy

The candidate has made limited public comments on specific climate and energy policies and described Delaware’s electric vehicle mandate as “rather strong,” but there is no clear, detailed policy platform on broader climate or energy strategy available from the campaign website or public sources reviewed.
