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 calls for term limits so that serving in Congress is not a career, noting that presidents are limited to two terms.7
His campaign website calls for a real ban on stock trading by members of Congress, saying a recently passed change still lets members keep and sell stocks they regulate.7
- Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks
- Ban members themselves from trading individual stocks
- No ban; keep the reporting rules, with stronger penalties for late reports
His campaign website says he would repeal the Citizens United decision, dismantle corporate PACs and end mega-donor money in elections.5,
- Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
- Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
- Keep current rules
- Raise or remove limits on donations to candidates and parties
Health Care
His campaign website proposes free health care for pregnant women and everyone under 26 and a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket deductibles.7
His campaign website says Americans pay many times what other countries pay for the same medicines and that drug prices should reflect the science and world prices.7
Housing
His campaign website calls for capping rent and homeowners association fees and holding management companies accountable.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.
