§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.
Elections and Government Reform
His campaign website says he supports creating an independent redistricting commission so that voters choose their officials rather than politicians choosing their voters.7
- Have independent commissions, not lawmakers, draw district lines
- Let legislatures draw the lines, but only once a decade after the census
- Let legislatures draw and redraw the lines when they choose
Immigration
His campaign website says immigrants who have lived in the country for years, worked, paid taxes and raised families should have a fair and achievable path to legal status and citizenship.7
- No new legal status, including for people brought here as children
- Legal status only for people brought here as children, such as DACA recipients
- Legal status, but not citizenship, for most who pass background checks and pay a fine
- A path to citizenship for most who meet requirements such as background checks
His campaign website supports strong border security and says immigration enforcement should focus first on violent criminals, gang members, traffickers and others who threaten public safety, while respecting constitutional rights and due process.7
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says he supports a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and also wants more support for families, adoption, foster care and people with disabilities.7
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His campaign website says workers should have the right to organize and bargain collectively for fair wages, safe working conditions and good benefits.7
His campaign website says he would work to reduce unnecessary regulations on small businesses and expand their access to capital.7
Technology, Privacy and AI
His campaign website says he would push for broadband expansion along with investments in roads, bridges, rail crossings and water systems.7
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says police, firefighters and other first responders should have the tools, training, equipment and recruitment support they need, along with transparency and accountability.7
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
