Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports taxing wealth and corporations rather than workers and advocates using tax revenue to fund programs that expand economic security (including extending ACA tax credits and transitioning to Medicare for All).

Healthcare

Supports a modern, phased-in Medicare for All system that guarantees comprehensive care without premiums or surprise bills and aims to eliminate medical debt and job lock while building toward universal coverage.

Immigration & Border

Supports comprehensive immigration reform that expands pathways to citizenship and naturalization, protects due process and family unity, and imposes strict oversight and limits on immigration enforcement (including ending private detention contracts and reducing ICE funding).

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports reproductive healthcare as healthcare and believes medical decisions belong between patients and providers. Explicitly lists access to contraception, abortion, fertility care, and pregnancy-related services and pledges to fight to protect reproductive freedom, medical privacy, and professional medical discretion. Opposes government interference in exam rooms or politically motivated laws that restrict care.

Climate & Energy

Supports the Green New Deal as an economic and environmental framework and calls for federal investment to confront climate risk while creating jobs and modernizing infrastructure. Also endorses an all-of-the-above energy strategy paired with protections for water, land, and community control over resources.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports common-sense gun safety measures including background checks on all firearm purchases, prohibiting firearm access for people subject to domestic violence restraining orders, and court-authorized temporary restrictions on firearm access with strong due-process protections. Emphasizes respecting constitutional rights and responsible gun ownership while reducing preventable harm.
