Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability
Candidate positionMaking things more affordable means being serious about how markets actually work and recognizing when they don’t. It means fixing bottlenecks that artificially drive up prices, from permitting delays to outdated regulations. It means making smart public investments. And it means doing everything possible to create more good, well-paid jobs.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionOur immigration system has been broken for decades, and everybody knows it. We need a common-sense system that is orderly, humane, and fair: secure borders, fair and timely asylum processing, legal pathways that encourage more legal immigration, and enforcement that respects the due process of law.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionLeverage the government funding process in the Senate to demand immediate reforms. Democrats must condition support for the Homeland Security Department budget on meaningful immigration reforms — including a ban on masks, warrant requirements for arrests, visible identification for officers, an end to racial profiling, reforms to ICE’s recruitment and training practices, and accountability for abuse and law-breaking.

Government ethics, accountability, and elections
Candidate positionSupport impeachment of Secretary Kristi Noem. Democrats should unite behind articles of impeachment for Kristi Noem for undermining transparency, obstructing Congressional access to facilities, and violating the public trust by directing violent, unaccountable enforcement tactics. Resignation is not the end of accountability.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionAbolish ICE, which has only existed since 2003. Long-term reform should include a reversal of the post-9/11 establishment of ICE inside of the Department of Homeland Security. The 2003 shift split up the Immigration and Naturalization Service, establishing an enforcement agency divorced from the broader mission of implementing a comprehensive immigration policy consistent with American traditions. ICE has become a lawless, unaccountable, poorly-run agency. Immigration enforcement authority must once again sit within an agency dedicated to a broader mission.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionReturn immigration enforcement to a public-safety-centered model with appropriate limits on use of force and respect for the rule of law and constitutional rights. Immigration enforcement plays an important role in public safety, but it has to include due process and a focus on violent offenders. It must focus on making communities safer, not creating and promoting chaos.

Candidate positionGo back on offense to push for the comprehensive immigration reform that Americans know we need: secure borders, fair and timely asylum processing, citizenship for DACA recipients, legal pathways that encourage more legal immigration, and enforcement that respects the due process of law and basic human dignity. Immigration is a source of strength, vitality, renewal, and growth, and Democrats shouldn’t be afraid to say that.

Health care
Candidate positionThe healthcare industry is consolidating like crazy. The same big corporations are taking control of insurance, pharmacy benefit management, pharmacies, medical practices and healthcare providers. And they’re extracting massive profit. Healthcare monopolies aren’t healthy for our country. In Congress, I’ll fight to break up healthcare monopolies to protect Americans from extracting profit at the expense of affordable, accessible healthcare.
