Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

Supports pathways to legal status and citizenship for undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients, opposes large-scale deportations, and favors more welcoming immigration policies. Has criticized current enforcement practices and expressed that the U.S. needs immigrants rather than stronger punitive deportation measures.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports legal and freely accessible abortion care, endorses federal action to ensure abortion is available and free, and favors abortion on demand throughout pregnancy.

Climate & Energy

Supports taking bold legislative action to confront climate change, including protecting federal lands like the Tongass National Forest and increasing Indigenous/tribal representation in related federal bodies. Endorses climate mitigation and clean-energy policies as part of a broader progressive platform while working within existing agreements and administration actions.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate supports significant gun-control measures, including repealing the Second Amendment to enable stricter firearm regulation and backing policies such as red flag laws and other gun-control legislation. The candidate has received endorsements from gun-safety advocacy and was rated poorly by gun-rights groups, consistent with a strongly pro-regulation stance on firearms.
