Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports major public investment (including backing the National Infrastructure Bank to create jobs and endorsing public banking and Glass-Steagall) while explicitly saying such investments would occur “without raising taxes or adding to the deficit.” These positions combine support for expanded government-led economic programs with an explicit rejection of tax increases, producing mixed signals on tax policy.
Healthcare
Rob Lucero’s campaign materials say Americans struggle to afford healthcare, prescription drugs, and mental health services and call for addressing corporate influence in the health system and independent studies of chemicals. He criticizes “Big Pharma” influence and opposes corporate legal immunity but does not state a clear position on universal coverage, Medicare expansion, or a public option in the cited materials. Public questionnaire responses linked to the candidate show healthcare questions were left unanswered.

Immigration & Border
Supports a compassionate approach that protects families and asylum access while also calling for stronger border security and faster processing. Advocates investing in technology and personnel to secure the border and resolve asylum claims quickly and humanely, and prioritizes taxpayer-funded services for legal residents. Emphasizes enforcement that is humane and respects human dignity rather than punitive mass deportations.
Climate & Energy
Supports large-scale investment in clean energy and infrastructure, including high-speed rail, a $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank, and development of modern, safe nuclear power for energy security and desalination projects. Emphasizes major infrastructure and water projects to secure clean water and generation capacity while framing nuclear as a cornerstone of energy and environmental goals.
