Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports using federal tax policy to strengthen social supports (for example expanding the Child Tax Credit and protecting SNAP) and criticizes tax cuts that prioritize wealthy individuals and large corporations over funding public programs. Emphasizes putting resources toward health, nutrition, and services rather than tax breaks for the wealthy.
Healthcare
Martha Guerrero has advocated for expanded mental-health and social-service funding and supported California’s Proposition 63, a tax to fund mental‑health programs. Her public materials emphasize strengthening access to social services, aging programs, and services for people experiencing homelessness. There is no explicit statement on Medicare for All or a national single‑payer plan in the cited sources.

Immigration & Border
Supports protections for immigrants and opposes aggressive federal immigration enforcement actions such as ICE raids; frames immigrant communities as targets of harmful policies and pledges to fight those measures. Immigration protections are presented alongside broader progressive priorities rather than detailed proposals for immigration legalization or pathway-to-citizenship legislation.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has expressed support for abortion access, stating that women should have the right to choose and has framed reproductive rights as a priority in local leadership contexts. Her campaign website does not appear to include a detailed abortion policy statement.
Climate & Energy
Supports taking bold action on climate by restoring clean energy tax credits, investing in green jobs and clean energy infrastructure, holding polluters accountable, and protecting frontline communities and clean air and water.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strengthening public safety by investing in law enforcement and expanding access to mental-health crisis response, and seeks to reduce gun violence through commonsense gun safety reforms while protecting families and communities.
