Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports expanding federal social programs (including Medicare for All) and advocates directing federal funds toward public works and economic investment to create jobs. Opposes proposals that would cut education and healthcare funding and favors seeking new revenue streams while avoiding regressive tax approaches. Emphasizes economic-development policies that leverage government investment rather than regressive revenue measures.
Healthcare
Rory Hoskins’ campaign platform says he will defend and expand the Affordable Care Act, strengthen Medicaid, and close coverage gaps while increasing funding for community health centers and maternal and mental health programs. Some local reporting attributes support for Medicare for All to Hoskins, creating conflicting signals about whether he supports single‑payer or an ACA‑expansion approach.

Immigration & Border
Supports a humane immigration policy including a pathway to citizenship, restoration and reform of the asylum process, rebuilding refugee resettlement, expansion of legal aid and community navigators, and measures to prevent deportation of longtime community members; also calls for discipline and reform of ICE.
Climate & Energy
Supports federal investment in urban green infrastructure, clean energy tax credits, and grants to build climate resilience; backs targeting assistance to low-income households and protections for communities disproportionately exposed to pollution.
