Immigration & Border
Supports a complete reformation and restructuring of the U.S. immigration system to make pathways to citizenship easier, faster, and cheaper and advocates for paperwork, education, and support systems to integrate immigrants. Backs measures to expand legal pathways and regularization so immigrants can become contributing members of their communities.
Climate & Energy
The candidate proposes a tax-abatement program to incentivize converting lawns into native-plant habitats and community vegetable gardens as an ecological and local-food policy; campaign materials emphasize local environmental benefits but do not state specific emissions targets, stances on fossil fuels, or energy policy. Public interviews and profiles highlight ecology-focused local initiatives but lack comprehensive climate or energy policy detail. Overall, available sources show environmental/land-use proposals but do not provide clear positions on broader climate or energy strategy.
