Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes fiscal restraint at the local-government level, calling for budget balance, cutting waste, streamlined regulation, and treating taxpayers’ dollars with respect. He also supports pro-worker measures such as a national living wage of $27 per hour, indicating support for some progressive economic policies alongside calls for spending discipline. Overall his statements combine pro-taxpayer/fiscal-conservative language with at least one explicitly progressive economic policy, producing a mixed record on taxes and the economy.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes defending the public health system and cites experience in the U.S. Public Health Service and disaster/public-health response; public materials reference concerns about health-care deserts and community health problems but do not lay out specific policy proposals such as support for Medicare for All, a public option, or market-based reforms.

Immigration & Border
Supports strengthening legal processes and oversight for immigration enforcement, calling for immigration courts to function as real courts and for state attorneys general to prosecute federal violations; opposes current ICE practices and emphasizes protections for immigrant children and families based on his work at HHS.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and restoring abortion rights, including codifying Roe-era protections into statute and defending access to abortion, medication abortion, contraception, and sex education. Pledges to work to preserve access in states where it remains legal and to push for stronger federal protections when Democrats are in power.
