Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports reversing tax giveaways and ending tax breaks that primarily benefit the ultra-wealthy, and reallocating revenue to education, childcare, healthcare, and other investments for working families. Advocates targeted revenue-raising or reclaiming lost revenue to fund programs (examples include opposing Missouri’s capital gains tax cut) and proposes healthcare reforms such as a Medicare buy-in and government-covered COBRA to reduce medical debt.
Healthcare
Supports policies to reduce medical debt and prioritize broader access to affordable care; emphasizes healthcare as a campaign priority. Positions focus on addressing affordability and patient financial protection rather than advocating single‑payer reform.

Immigration & Border
Supports creating a pathway to citizenship for long-term, law‑abiding residents; protecting Dreamers; reforming the asylum process; opposing family separation; restricting ICE funding until the agency is reformed; and prioritizing enforcement against violent criminals rather than broad deportations.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports evidence-based gun safety policies including universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders (red flag laws), safe-storage and child access prevention laws, restored federal research funding on firearm injury, and investments in community violence prevention and hospital-based interventions.
News
Nick Vivio is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its 2026 House primary under a newly drawn congressional map, even though the map’s legal status is still being challenged. That means candidates like Vivio could be nominated in one set of districts and then face a different map in the November election. The dispute is still unresolved, so the district lines for the race remain uncertain.
