Political Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports restructuring the tax system to invest in public goods, ending tax breaks for the wealthy, and using taxation to fund expanded social programs such as universal healthcare, free higher education, and a living wage. Advocates systemic economic reform to reduce concentration of wealth and increase government investment in people and services.

Healthcare

Supports expanded access to mental health care and frames healthcare as a human right; favors policies to increase coverage and resources rather than explicit single-payer proposals. Emphasizes reproductive healthcare as part of healthcare rights.

Immigration & Border

Supports immigration reform with humane treatment for immigrants and opposes penalizing hardworking immigrant families while endorsing changes to the immigration system. Positions emphasize reform and protections rather than enforcement-first measures.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports a woman’s right to govern her own body and to make her own reproductive choices, describes abortion as health care, and advocates for legislation to protect and restore abortion access after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Climate & Energy

Supports renewable/green energy and recognizes a global climate crisis while expressing interest in bringing fossil fuel and renewable industry leaders together to seek solutions and jobs; advocates for climate action and sustainable economic growth but does not prominently endorse Green New Deal–level proposals in available materials.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate identifies as a gun owner and a Second Amendment supporter while also calling for “common-sense” gun safety legislation and measures to reduce gun violence. Public statements combine support for gun ownership rights with advocacy for some regulatory actions to address shootings and public safety.
