These positions prioritize higher taxes on wealthy/corporate actors and expanded government spending on social programs and infrastructure.

Advocates lowering prescription drug costs and expanding access to care as part of broader cost-of-living and social program reforms.

The candidate has not published a clear policy platform on gun regulation; campaign materials and local reporting describe deVille as a gun enthusiast and note plans to hold a town hall at a gun range as part of outreach. Public reporting includes a now-deleted campaign video showing deVille at a shooting range, but the campaign website does not present specific gun-policy proposals.
