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.
