Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports higher taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations, including closing loopholes and enforcing a corporate minimum tax, with the revenue used to expand public investments in education, healthcare, housing, and related programs.
Healthcare
Supports universal healthcare as a right and calls for systems that ensure every American has access to care without financial hardship; advocates paying for it by cutting waste, negotiating drug prices, and taxing wealthier Americans and corporations. Strongly supports federal codification of abortion access as health care.

Immigration & Border
Supports immigration reform that expands legal pathways and creates a pathway to citizenship, emphasizes due process and humane treatment for immigrants, and opposes aggressive enforcement practices. Advocates improving the legal immigration system to better support family and economic immigration while regularizing long-term undocumented residents.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate explicitly supports full reproductive freedom, including access to abortion, birth control, and maternal care and says access to abortion should be codified at the federal level. He opposes Alabama’s restrictive reproductive-health policies and frames abortion as healthcare and lifesaving care in some instances.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate emphasizes public safety through a mix of stronger support for local police funding and investments in mental‑health and addiction services, victim support, and youth prevention programs. No clear public position on specific firearm policies (e.g., background checks, assault weapons bans, red flag laws, or constitutional carry) was found in the cited materials.
News
Jeremy Devito is in the news because he is running in the Democratic primary for Alabama’s 5th Congressional District. He is one of the candidates facing Andrew Sneed and Candice Duvieilh ahead of the May 19 primary. The race is drawing attention as Democrats try to challenge Republican incumbent Dale Strong in a district where the GOP has a large financial advantage.
