Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports reducing burdens on businesses and improving government efficiency to restore revenue, endorses targeted budget cuts where necessary rather than broad austerity, and favors policies that increase economic activity (e.g., more housing to generate tax revenue).

Healthcare

Supports providing physical and mental health services as part of city programs for people experiencing homelessness and endorses public-health alternatives (non-police responses) for those in mental health or substance-use crises.

Immigration & Border

The candidate supports stronger enforcement against immigrants who commit crimes and expressed opposition to protecting criminal conduct under sanctuary policies; he has endorsed deportations for drug dealers. His public statements emphasize law enforcement and cooperation with federal authorities in deporting individuals involved in drug trafficking.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports access to reproductive health services provided by the Department of Public Health but indicated favoring parental notification/consent requirements for minors seeking abortions while also saying parents should not be able to force a child to continue a pregnancy. The candidate showed support for local protections for reproductive rights (e.g., backing Proposition O protections) in local endorsements.
