Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports a progressive tax code that raises taxes on wealthy individuals, corporations, and financial transactions while cutting or reducing taxes for low- and middle-income people; proposes new revenue sources (financial transactions tax, higher estate taxes, vacancy/speculation taxes) to fund a large-scale Green New Deal and expanded public programs including a federal jobs program.
Healthcare
Supports implementing a national single-payer system (an improved Medicare for All) leading to a publicly owned, UK-style national health service that replaces private insurance and guarantees healthcare as a human right.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanded legal pathways and a dignified path to citizenship for immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees; emphasizes protecting asylum access and humanitarian treatment; links fixing immigration to ending U.S. wars and foreign interventions that drive displacement.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care, including codifying Roe v. Wade and ensuring access to contraception and emergency contraception. Describes safe abortion as a necessary health care option and frames abortion access as a fundamental right.
Climate & Energy
The candidate advocates an urgent, large-scale Green New Deal to transition the United States to 100% clean renewable energy (target year ~2030), create millions of clean-energy jobs, end pipelines and offshore drilling, eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, and use measures such as a carbon price to accelerate the transition. Climate change is framed as an emergency requiring rapid government-led investment in renewables, public transit, efficiency, and related green infrastructure.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded gun-safety measures including closing background-check loopholes, keeping/advocating assault-weapons restrictions, preventing domestic abusers from purchasing firearms, and other tighter gun-sale regulations. Endorses reforms to policing consistent with demilitarization/disarming police in some contexts.
