Political Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports expanded government investment in healthcare, education, job training, and infrastructure and emphasizes prioritizing working families over corporate interests (the campaign says it will not accept corporate donations). The campaign materials and available profiles do not present an explicit position on tax rates or specific tax changes, leaving his tax policy stance unclear.

Healthcare

Supports free healthcare for all U.S. citizens and calls for expanded public health infrastructure, including re-establishing nationwide mental health facilities.

Immigration & Border

Supports expanding the immigration system’s capacity by increasing the number of immigration courts and judges, and presents an inclusive view of immigrants as part of the nation’s fabric. Emphasizes humane, system-focused reforms rather than enforcement-first measures.
