Immigration & Border
Supports maintaining a secure border and says people who are in the country illegally and commit crimes should not remain while emphasizing respect for due process and legal procedures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has publicly shared a personal abortion and miscarriage experience and says she is compelled to speak up because her daughters now have fewer reproductive rights than she did, framing reproductive care as a medical issue and signaling support for abortion access. She has presented these views in campaign-related public writing and interviews.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports aggressive gun violence measures including banning the sale of semi-automatic/so-called assault weapons, a mandatory assault-weapon buyback, limits on high-capacity magazines, red-flag laws, and licensing requirements for gun purchases. These proposals come from her public statements and an op-ed she wrote while serving on the Portsmouth Police Commission.
