§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says he and others created a new political party, greenparty2.0, and describes the party as pro-choice and as defending women's right to women's health care.3
Health Care
His campaign website lists Medicare for All among its priorities.3
- One government plan for everyone (Medicare for All)
- Add a government plan that anyone can choose to buy
- Keep the current mix of private and public coverage, including the ACA
- Fewer federal insurance rules and more private plan choices, with aid paid to individuals
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website says he pledges never to own stocks or crypto while in office and that Congress should work to end insider trading and personal profiteering.3
His campaign website says he wants to severely limit corporate and international interests' influence on Congress and be fully transparent about lobbying, and that lobbying and campaign financing make representatives dependent on those who fund them.3
Immigration
His campaign website says human rights and due process are being disregarded by ICE, especially in its detention centers, and lists addressing this among his main priorities.3
Courts, Rights and Civil Liberties
His campaign website says free speech has been lost and should be restored on the internet, at work and in news media, and describes censorship on social media as a problem.3
§4Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
