Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax policies that protect and provide relief to middle-class families, simplify the tax code, and close unfair tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations while backing targeted government investments (for example, in child tax credits and social programs in the Build Back Better package). Opposed the 2017 Republican tax bill as written because of its impact on middle-class families and has supported legislation to make wealthier corporations and individuals pay more to fund investments for families and communities.
Healthcare
Supports strengthening and expanding the Affordable Care Act to increase coverage and lower costs, including extending enhanced ACA premium subsidies and protecting coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. Advocates government actions to address high prescription drug costs, end surprise medical billing, and boost federal medical research. Does not endorse dismantling the ACA and frames improvements as targeted fixes rather than a move to single-payer Medicare for All.

Advocates using science to guide climate policy and backing legislation to modernize energy infrastructure and support green manufacturing.
