Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports expanding social programs and worker protections including Medicare for All, a $17 federal minimum wage, stronger labor rights (PRO Act), universal childcare, and public campaign financing while rejecting corporate PAC and AIPAC money. Platform priorities indicate favoring significant government intervention and expanded spending to shift benefits toward working-class families.
Healthcare

Immigration & Border
Supports abolition of ICE and an end to aggressive ICE enforcement; advocates for protecting immigrants and expanding humanitarian immigration policies rather than enforcement expansion. Positions emphasize ending large-scale deportation-style actions and prioritizing legal/humanitarian pathways.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade at the federal level and describes protecting reproductive freedom as a campaign priority. Endorses the Women’s Health Protection Act (H.R.12 / S.2150) as the vehicle to secure those protections.
Climate & Energy
Supports large federal investment in clean energy and green manufacturing, protecting Inflation Reduction Act incentives, resilient infrastructure upgrades, transit expansion, and a Green New Deal–style program for public housing. Frames climate as a defining national security threat and prioritizes building on Kansas’s wind and battery industry to create union jobs.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports passing an assault weapons ban, implementing universal background checks, and treating gun violence as a public health crisis; favors common-sense gun safety measures alongside justice reform.
News
Sarah Preu is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its 2026 House primary under a newly drawn congressional map, even though the map’s legal status is still being challenged. That means her race could be affected by a district plan that may not be final. The dispute could also create a mismatch between the districts used to choose nominees in August and the ones used in the November election.
