Immigration & Border

Climate & Energy
Supports building a green grid and expanding clean energy jobs, defending public lands and increasing funding for wildfire and climate resilience projects; favors electrification of transportation and investment in climate resilience and infrastructure to reduce wildfire, drought, and extreme-weather risks.
Public Safety & Guns

He expresses skepticism that new federal firearms legislation will be durable under the current Supreme Court and does not set out a clear package of specific gun‑control measures in available public statements.
