Economy & Taxes

Taylor Darling's campaign platform lists "Tax and corporate accountability" among economic priorities and emphasizes policies to lower costs for basic needs, expand economic security, and support small businesses and workforce training. Her public materials do not specify clear proposals to raise or cut taxes or explicit positions on tax rates for higher-income households or corporations.

Healthcare

Supports expanding access to care and funding for safety-net hospitals and public health services, and has affirmed that the healthcare system should serve all New Yorkers regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. Has advocated for increased resources for health and human services workers and facilities serving low-income populations.

Immigration & Border

Supports expanding access to legal protections and services for immigrants and asylum seekers, including work authorization and legal counsel in immigration proceedings, while not advancing maximal restrictionist enforcement proposals in available sources.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting and preserving abortion access and removing local restrictions that would limit reproductive health care; has participated in public actions to keep New York a safe place for reproductive care and to close legal loopholes that could criminalize abortion services.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports expanded gun-safety measures including closing ghost‑gun/unfinished‑receiver loopholes and stronger background checks, and treats gun violence as a public‑health/public‑safety issue while advocating measures to reduce illegal gun supply. Emphasizes protecting communities and law enforcement by restricting particularly dangerous weapons and addressing the suppliers of guns into neighborhoods.
