Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate’s published policy roadmap emphasizes expanded social programs (universal childcare, universal healthcare with a Medicare-like public option, fully funded Medicare/Medicaid), strengthened safety-net programs, targeted tax credits and incentives (for healthcare providers, first-time homebuyers, and local investment), and repeal of consumer-raising tariffs. The platform supports increased public investment and use of tax credits and incentives to lower costs and grow local economies rather than proposing major tax cuts or deregulation.
Healthcare
Supports a single-payer model and will vote for and co-sponsor Medicare for All; proposes interim 'Medicare Open to All' to make Medicare immediately available to everyone while working toward single-payer reform. Also backs measures to expand Medicaid eligibility, cap prescription costs, and increase subsidies for ACA marketplace plans to improve affordability and access in rural New York.

Immigration & Border
Supports an "intelligent and compassionate" immigration policy and emphasizes protecting asylum access and limiting deportations while holding the administration accountable to existing immigration law. Advocates for reform-oriented, humanitarian approaches combined with enforcement accountability rather than expansion of harsh enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate states that reproductive decisions should be made by individuals based on their own beliefs and convictions and that government should not replace those personal decisions. The campaign frames this view within a commitment to personal freedom and religious liberty.
Climate & Energy
Supports investing in renewable energy, reducing emissions and pollution, and promoting and incentivizing green energy solutions while protecting waterways, wilderness, and local agriculture. Emphasizes empowering local communities to pursue sustainable policies for the region.
