Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for working families and seniors (expanded EITC, repealing the retirement tax) while opposing large tax cuts for the wealthy and advocating investments in childcare, Medicaid, workforce development, and other state services. Favors using tax policy and budget choices to lower costs for parents and expand refundable credits rather than broad across-the-board tax cuts.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to affordable health care through a public option, protecting Medicare and Medicaid, lowering prescription costs, and treating mental and reproductive health as basic rights. Has passed state-level measures to codify ACA protections, expand coverage for treatments such as oral chemotherapy, and pursue prescription drug cost controls. Opposes Medicare for All while advocating a public-option approach and extensions of ACA marketplace tax credits to preserve coverage.

Immigration & Border
Supports expanding legal pathways and fixing the asylum process while also investing in border security and focusing enforcement resources on violent criminals; advocates reforming ICE through budgetary leverage and operational changes (for example, requiring uniforms/identification for officers).
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports abortion and reproductive rights, backed efforts to repeal Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban, supported enshrining reproductive healthcare and abortion access in state law, and has sponsored legislation to protect access to reproductive health clinics and reproductive health data.
Climate & Energy
Supports ambitious clean-energy standards and major clean-energy investment, helped pass Michigan legislation setting high renewable and clean energy targets and energy-storage goals, and advocates holding polluters accountable and eliminating fossil-fuel subsidies. Promotes climate-resilient infrastructure, Great Lakes protection, and worker/community transition programs to accompany the energy transition.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded gun-safety laws including banning untraceable “ghost guns,” closing private-sale background check loopholes, promoting safe-storage laws, and using Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Has sponsored legislation to serialize ghost guns and backed additional measures like bump-stock prohibitions and campus/capitol safety restrictions.
