Positions
Economy & Taxes
Advocates a working-class program that shifts wealth and control from corporations to workers, calls for using public resources to fund wages, jobs, and public services, and criticizes corporations and large employers for avoiding taxes and extracting profits. Supports stronger public investment and redistribution to address wage stagnation, inflation, homelessness, and underfunded public services.
Immigration & Border
The candidate frames immigrants as workers whose rights are denied and calls for defending the undocumented working class and inclusive, humane treatment. Campaign and affiliated materials emphasize immigrant rights and opposition to repression of undocumented workers, but do not lay out a detailed legislative plan such as a specific pathway to citizenship or asylum policy changes.

Climate & Energy
Supports recognizing climate change as an emergency and prioritizing action to protect vulnerable communities; favors clean energy investment and criticizes fossil-fuel industry influence while accepting working-class-focused, practical approaches to transition. Positions emphasize climate impact on working-class communities and the need for political organizing and public investment rather than defending continued heavy fossil-fuel expansion.
