Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports restoring the child tax credit to reduce taxes on working families, rolling back tariffs that raise prices, and providing tax credits to companies that create jobs in the United States. Emphasizes protecting Social Security and Medicaid while promoting targeted business incentives to bring manufacturing and jobs to Michigan.
Healthcare
Supports building on the Affordable Care Act to expand affordable coverage, including restoring marketplace tax credits, expanding prescription drug negotiation, undoing Medicare/Medicaid cuts, and creating a robust public option to lower costs through competition.

Immigration & Border
Supports comprehensive immigration reform that both secures the border and creates a pathway to citizenship for otherwise law‑abiding people; favors a working E‑Verify system and directing enforcement resources toward violent criminals rather than otherwise law‑abiding immigrants.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports unrestricted abortion access, describes himself as 100% pro-choice, and supports federal protections to reinstate the rights guaranteed by Roe v. Wade. Backs codifying reproductive healthcare protections at the federal level, including access to abortion, IVF, and birth control. Opposes efforts to roll back reproductive rights and supports eliminating measures like the Hyde Amendment to preserve access through Medicaid.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes protecting clean air and clean water, holding PFAS and other polluters accountable, and removing tax preferences for oil and gas while supporting public agencies like the EPA to address pollution. He frames industrial and manufacturing policy (e.g., CHIPS implementation) as part of economic recovery but does not endorse large-scale fossil-fuel phaseouts or Green New Deal–style commitments in the cited materials.
