Political Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax relief for middle- and working-class families while backing measures to raise revenue from wealthy individuals, corporations, and health-care corporations and to close tax loopholes. Promoted expanding refundable tax credits for families (child and dependent care) alongside proposals to audit complex pass-through entities and increase certain corporate/insurer surcharges.
Healthcare

Show moreShow less
Immigration & Border
Supports a major overhaul of the U.S. immigration system including opposition to mass deportations, significant reforms or replacement of ICE, protections for asylum access and due process, and a pathway to legal status for longtime undocumented residents while saying the border should be secure without preventing new arrivals from being welcomed.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care, views abortion as a fundamental right, and has defended codifying and preserving legal access to abortion in law. Has publicly encouraged out-of-state abortion seekers to come to Minnesota and opposed efforts to enact strict abortion bans.
Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive clean-energy and climate action goals, including achieving 100% carbon-free electricity (Minnesota target by 2040), expanding wind and solar, investing in clean-energy jobs and technology (green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels, green steel), and opposing rollbacks of federal clean-energy investments.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports banning assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and ghost guns, and calls for stronger, nationwide gun-safety laws while also supporting resources for law enforcement and investments in violence-prevention and re-entry programs. She emphasizes closing legal gaps and loopholes in the patchwork of state laws to improve public safety.
