Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate proposes abolishing the federal income tax and replacing it with a revenue-neutral value-added tax while also advocating policy ideas such as free college and elimination of student loan debt. He opposes student loan forgiveness and favors returning control of some federal functions to states. These positions combine major tax-system changes with support for expanded education spending, producing a mixed stance on taxes and government spending.

Healthcare

The candidate supports universal single-payer or equivalent universal healthcare and describes healthcare as a fundamental right. Campaign materials and prior statements endorse major public expansion of coverage and systemic reform of the current system.

Immigration & Border

The candidate supports strengthening border security by substantially increasing Border Patrol staffing and holding Mexico accountable, while also proposing a four-year "Service for Freedom" program that would allow immigrants to work, learn English, and earn citizenship after completing service. Statements combine enforcement-focused measures (doubling Border Patrol, reallocating ICE roles) with an affirmative pathway to citizenship for participants and protections for Dreamers. The overall signals contain both enforcement-first and pathway elements, producing a mixed position on immigration.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports near-total restrictions on elective abortion, allowing abortion only in extreme circumstances such as rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
