Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax measures targeting large corporations and greater tax oversight while proposing tax relief for seniors and programs to address affordability; advocates ending corporate subsidies, limiting stock buybacks, and balancing the federal budget over ten years.
Healthcare
Supports lowering prescription drug and healthcare costs through government negotiation and transparency measures, including requiring CMS to negotiate maximum brand-name drug prices, public reporting of out-of-pocket costs and hospital pricing, and creating maximum annual out-of-pocket limits for Medicare beneficiaries. Proposes price benchmarks for essential medications and greater pricing transparency across insurers, pharmacies, and hospitals. These measures prioritize expanded access and cost controls rather than full single-payer reform.

Immigration & Border
Supports applying due process in immigration proceedings, securing the border, and creating a realistic path to citizenship for long-term, non-criminal immigrants by financing immigration fees over a 10-year period.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s campaign platform includes general environmental protections such as boosting FEMA funding for coastal recovery and restrictions on pollution but does not present detailed climate policy (no explicit emissions targets, Green New Deal–style commitments, or clear fossil‑fuel stance).
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate emphasizes preventing school shootings through mental‑health, emotional‑intelligence, and resilience training in schools and communities. The campaign platform describes programs and annual training for school employees to reduce violence but does not state explicit positions on firearm policies such as universal background checks, assault weapon bans, red flag laws, or concealed/carry rules.
