Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports investing in forests, schools, and jobs through a $1.74 billion plan that he says will be funded with grants and without new taxes; emphasizes saving taxpayers money and creating jobs as part of economic policy.

Climate & Energy

The candidate emphasizes forest management, wildfire prevention, habitat restoration, and protecting timber jobs while proposing limited investments in green-tech startups and workforce training. The campaign platform focuses on balancing conservation with economic support for the timber industry and regulatory reform to reduce wildfire risk, but it does not state comprehensive emissions targets or positions on international climate agreements or fossil-fuel phase-out.
