Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour indexed to inflation, new taxes on wealthy compensation/assets (an origination tax on assets/stock received in lieu of salary above $250,000), and lifting the Social Security payroll tax cap to subject higher incomes to Social Security taxes. Also opposes trickle-down economic policies and supports expanded public spending such as Medicare-for-All as part of broader economic policy.
Healthcare
Supports affordable healthcare as a right and expanding access to affordable healthcare, including positions aligned with expanding government-backed access rather than repeal or privatization. Campaign materials and news coverage present healthcare expansion and affordability as a central platform issue.

Immigration & Border
Supports restoring bipartisan immigration reform to create faster pathways to citizenship and intends to block funding for ICE enforcement until a bipartisan immigration bill is passed. Describes current U.S. immigration processes as broken and emphasizes reducing the time and cost to become a citizen.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports the 2024 Nebraska voter decision to keep abortion legal up to 12 weeks (with exceptions for rape, incest, and medical emergency after the first trimester) and opposes further restrictions on that law.
Climate & Energy
Supports development and expansion of renewable energy and climate-focused energy solutions and has a professional background in solar/renewable energy.

No found evidence of advocating for Green New Deal–style full fossil-fuel phase-out or explicit opposition to transitional fossil-fuel use.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports the Second Amendment while backing expanded gun safety measures, explicitly endorsing comprehensive background checks and red flag laws to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to public safety.
