Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports policies to lower costs for working families including a $20 federal minimum wage indexed to inflation and federal tax credits/incentives to spur affordable-home construction; positions emphasize prioritizing working people over corporate interests and rejecting corporate PAC money.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes that healthcare is increasingly unaffordable and pledges to make healthcare more accessible for residents of GA-13, but provides only general statements rather than a detailed policy plan. Specific positions on Medicare for All, a public option, Medicaid expansion mechanics, or market-based reforms are not stated on the campaign materials found.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports immigration reform and has participated in rallies and advocacy related to immigration issues; his public profile emphasizes his immigrant family background and engagement with communities affected by immigration. Available sources describe him as having rallied for immigration reform and listing immigration reform among issues he has championed, but do not provide a detailed policy platform on asylum, enforcement, or pathways to citizenship.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports reproductive autonomy and was endorsed by the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, which requires endorsed candidates to support LGBTQ+ equality and the right to bodily autonomy. The available public evidence indicates support for reproductive rights but does not provide a detailed policy prescription on gestational limits or federal codification of Roe v. Wade.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports comprehensive gun reform including universal background checks, strengthened red-flag laws, bans on assault/high-capacity weapons, waiting periods, mandatory safety training and safe-storage requirements; treats gun violence as a public health crisis and favors community-based prevention and maintaining gun-free zones.
