Issue Positions Loading data...

Issue Position
I support stronger enforcement against fraud, wage theft, price gouging, predatory algorithms, subscription and app traps, hidden fees, and other schemes designed to exploit consumers or workers.
Issue Position
I know firsthand the difference a strong union can make in wages, benefits, training, safety, and access to a real career. Federal policy should protect the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively without retaliation.

I support stronger ethics enforcement, restrictions on congressional insider trading, and reforms that reduce the power of money-driven lobbying and paid influence. Public office should answer first to voters, not donor networks, corporations, billionaire interests, or political insiders.
I support an 18-year limit and a clear upper age limit on congressional service: no more than nine House terms or three Senate terms. I also support an 18-year limit for Supreme Court justices and broader anti-corruption reforms that prevent public office from becoming permanent control.
Issue Position
Constitutional liberties must remain enforceable against government power. I will defend privacy, due process, freedom of speech and conscience, equal protection, and the right of people to be secure from unreasonable government intrusion.
Civil rights require equal treatment under law and meaningful access to education, employment, housing, capital, voting, and public institutions. I support strong enforcement against discrimination, transparent and job-related hiring standards, independent review of automated screening systems, and measurable correction of persistent racial and sex-based inequities.
Issue Position
The law should not be harshest on the powerless and softest on the powerful. I support punishment proportionate to the harm caused, fewer unwarranted sentencing disparities, and full accountability for violent offenders, white-collar criminals, corrupt officials, and corporations that cause widespread harm.
Issue Position
I support federal investment tied to measurable results in domestic production, apprenticeships, good jobs, resilient supply chains, local purchasing, housing, business growth, and stronger neighborhood economies. Federal support should help communities build lasting economic capacity, not simply subsidize short-term activity.
Issue Position
Economic policy should lower everyday costs by increasing housing and domestic supply, strengthening competition, reducing unnecessary utility and transportation burdens, and funding public services that families otherwise pay more to access. Public money should improve ordinary life, not be wasted or redirected toward unnecessary subsidies and contracts.
Issue Position
I oppose dismantling the U.S. Department of Education or weakening federal support for civil rights, special education, Pell Grants, student aid, research, and under-resourced schools. Public schools need adequate funding tied to locally designed, measurable plans for academics, counseling, family support, safety, attendance, and preparation for college and careers. I also support stronger college pathways, direct-admission models, and responsible student-debt relief, including service-based options.
Issue Position
Protecting the public means protecting the air, water, power system, and neighborhoods on which life depends. I support clean, renewable energy and strong federal action against pollution and misuse of shared resources.
Issue Position
Once Congress appropriates funds, the executive branch must carry out the law. A president may propose rescissions, but should not be able to cancel or redirect appropriated funds unilaterally.
Issue Position
Foreign assistance should serve legitimate humanitarian and strategic purposes and remain subject to oversight. I support restoring USAID’s independent capacity for disaster relief, food assistance, global-health support, and long-term development so American engagement abroad is not defined only by military commitments.
Issue Position
Foreign policy requires stability, diplomacy, competence, and accountability. The United States should remain a reliable defender of peace and security, maintain strong defenses and alliances, and avoid unauthorized or open-ended conflicts. I support Palestinian self-determination and recognition of a Palestinian state governed by legitimate civilian institutions committed to peace, human rights, and security for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Issue Position
I support comprehensive federal gun legislation that preserves the individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes, including self-defense, hunting, and sporting use, while recognizing that the right is not unlimited. Policy should create multiple points of intervention before firearms reach people presenting a credible danger.
Issue Position
I support a universal healthcare guarantee built upon Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ care, employer and union plans, private insurance, and successful state programs. At its center should be a portable national public option available regardless of income, employment status, or whether another plan is offered. Coverage must be affordable, usable, and connected to actual care, with negotiated drug prices, fewer administrative barriers, stronger mental-health coverage, and greater investment in the healthcare workforce and community health systems.
Issue Position
Federal policy should prevent avoidable eviction, expand rental assistance and supportive housing, and move people quickly from shelters or the street into permanent housing. The goal should be to end hunger and homelessness, not merely manage them.
Issue Position
Housing policy must expand actual supply, not simply provide more assistance to compete for the same limited homes. I support federal investment in affordable housing, rental assistance, homelessness prevention, and development that connects housing with jobs, transit, storefronts, public space, and community services.
Issue Position
Immigration law should be enforced through lawful government, not indiscriminate or paramilitary tactics. I support serious institutional reform of ICE, clear identification of agents, protection of due process in the field and detention, and real consequences for misconduct. Immigration enforcement does not place federal officers above the law.
Issue Position
Federal labor policy should strengthen workers’ ability to earn, organize, train, and advance. I support stronger labor protections, registered apprenticeships, prevailing wages on federally funded construction, domestic investment, and policies that connect workers to stable careers rather than temporary employment.
Issue Position
I support stronger federal labor protections, meaningful penalties for union-busting and wage theft, prevailing wages on federally funded construction, expanded registered apprenticeships, and opposition to national right-to-work laws that weaken collective bargaining.
Issue Position
American weapons and taxpayer dollars should not make our nation complicit in preventable civilian deaths. Military assistance must remain subject to conditions, oversight, lawful purpose, and accountability.
Issue Position
The President leads diplomacy and commands the armed forces, but Congress retains the constitutional power to declare war and fund military operations. National security policy should combine strong defenses with lawful authorization, defined objectives, public accountability, stable alliances, and a clear path to conclusion.
I am not interested in oversight as political theater. Federal agencies and officials should not be able to bury investigations, withhold legally required records, conceal misuse of authority, or protect a president, ally, or powerful network. Oversight should uncover the truth, correct wrongdoing, and restore lawful government.
Issue Position
I support a long-term Social Security solvency plan that protects retirement, survivor, and disability benefits without shifting the burden onto workers and beneficiaries.
I support comprehensive federal privacy and data-rights protections covering personal information, communications, location, biometrics, surveillance, commercial data sales, and emerging technologies. Individuals should control the collection, use, sale, and retention of their information, with strong warrant protections against government efforts to bypass constitutional safeguards.
Issue Position
Congress has allowed too much constitutional authority to pass into executive hands. Major changes to federal agencies, lawful programs, appropriated funds, and sensitive public systems must follow statutory authority, congressional approval where required, transparent accounting, and constitutional limits. Congress must also protect the ability of every elected representative to participate meaningfully in legislating.
Issue Position
Federal policy should help local and minority entrepreneurs start and grow businesses, gain financing and technical assistance, enter supplier pipelines, and compete for contracts with major employers and public agencies. More of the value created in Minnesota should remain in the communities where people live and work.
Issue Position
Social Security is an earned promise. Congress must protect its long-term solvency while opposing privatization, benefit cuts, and another increase in the retirement age. The burden of preserving the program should not be shifted onto workers and beneficiaries.
Issue Position
I will protect food assistance, school and summer meals, senior nutrition, rental assistance, and homelessness-prevention programs. Public support should help people maintain stability while broader policy expands housing, healthcare, employment, and economic opportunity.
Issue Position
I support a Rich Tax on billionaires and the ultra-wealthy, a steeper income-tax curve at the very top, and stronger action against offshore tax avoidance and corporate loopholes. Those who benefit most from America’s workers, infrastructure, markets, courts, public contracts, and stability should contribute more to the country that made that wealth possible.
Issue Position
Technology should expand opportunity without sacrificing privacy, human autonomy, or public accountability. I support strong safeguards for artificial intelligence, automated decision-making, biometric systems, surveillance technologies, and personal data. I also oppose large-scale data-center development when its public costs outweigh its public benefit.
Issue Position
I support mixed-use, transit-oriented growth around Lake Street, West Bank, Franklin, Nicollet Mall, Hennepin Avenue, and other important corridors by connecting housing with jobs, storefronts, reliable transit, walkability, public space, and community services.
Issue Position
Veterans need enforceable standards for timely appointments and continuity between VA care and qualified community care. Benefits promised to those who served should be accessible in practice, not merely exist on paper.
Issue Position
I will defend Congress’s constitutional war powers and oppose unauthorized, open-ended, and forever conflicts. Military action should have a lawful basis, defined objectives, public accountability, congressional authorization where required, and a clear path to conclusion.
Issue Position
I support a Rich Tax on billionaires and the ultra-wealthy because fiscal responsibility should not mean cutting basic needs while tax advantages for extreme wealth continue widening inequality and adding pressure to the national debt.
I oppose total and near-total abortion bans and support restoring the federal viability framework associated with Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Before viability, reproductive decisions should remain within a woman’s protected sphere of privacy. After viability, government may protect potential life while preserving necessary exceptions for the life or health of the woman. I also support access to contraception, maternal and emergency pregnancy care, medical privacy, and qualified reproductive-health providers.
Issue Position
Americans should not lose a job, home, or financial stability because they become ill, welcome a child, or need to care for family. I support a national paid family and medical leave standard that provides wage replacement and job protection.
