Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes

Emphasizes measuring government programs for results and eliminating ineffective spending while protecting programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to insurance and protecting Medicare and Medicaid, opposes Medicare for All, and backs government actions to lower prescription drug prices (including allowing Medicare to negotiate and capping insulin).

Immigration & Border
The candidate has expressed that the Biden administration was too slow to close the border and said former President Trump was right to shut the U.S.-Mexico border, while also characterizing large-scale deportation measures as immoral and illegal. Public materials do not present a detailed, consistent policy platform on immigration or border enforcement.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports abortion rights and believes the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision should be restored, endorsing federal protection for reproductive choice.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s public materials emphasize lowering energy costs for families and protecting consumers from price gouging but do not lay out specific climate targets, support for major clean-energy legislation, or a detailed plan to transition away from fossil fuels. Coverage of the campaign highlights consumer-focused energy affordability as a priority but provides no clear policy prescriptions on emissions reductions or regulatory approaches.
