Energy, utilities, and ratepayer protection

Candidate position

In some areas, we need to make investments that the private sector won’t make on its own. For example, expanding the supply of clean energy, building a modern electric grid, and building 21st century transit.

Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability

Candidate position

Making 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recognizing when they don’t. It means fixing bottlenecks that artificially drive up prices, from permitting delays to outdated regulations.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 position

Our 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 position

Leverage 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.

Candidate position

Support 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.

Immigration and border policy

Candidate position

Abolish 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 position

Return 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.
