Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax code changes that lower taxes for working people while shifting more burden onto land speculation; advocates targeted public investments in education and health (including a public option) as part of an economic agenda. Emphasizes simplifying the tax code and policy measures intended to restore economic fairness and put more money in working families' pockets.
Healthcare
Supports a Health Security plan that provides universal primary care and a public insurance option, with measures to lower prescription costs. Emphasizes expanding access to healthcare through government-led programs rather than full privatization or repeal of existing protections.

Supports large federal investment in clean energy research and deployment (proposes a $120 billion 'Fusion Fund' to accelerate commercial fusion) and advocates a national reforestation program (a plan to plant 100 billion trees by 2050) as practical climate solutions that create jobs and reduce emissions.
News
Joshua Hamilton is in the news after reports said he deleted past posts calling to seize private property and abolish police, borders, and prisons. The coverage centers on those statements and the fact that they were removed, but it does not provide official election results or much other detail. Overall, the reporting raises questions about his past views as a Democratic candidate in New York's 10th district.
