Positions and priorities

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

An Economy Built on Workers, Not Just Profits

Candidate position

Working people feel the economy every single day — at the grocery store, when the utility bill arrives, and when rent or mortgage payments come due. Right now, too many families are doing everything right and still falling behind. Wages haven’t kept up, prices keep climbing, and too many policies in Washington are written to protect profits instead of people.

Working Families Are Always Asked to Sacrifice

Candidate position

Working people shouldn’t be treated as a backup plan or a revenue source. We shouldn’t only be remembered when it’s time to sacrifice. If the economy depends on our labor — and it does — then economic policy should reflect that reality.

A Fair Economy Starts With Respect for Work

Candidate position

I believe the economy should reward work, not exploit it. That means policies that strengthen wages, protect workers from being priced out of basic necessities, and stop rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas while expecting American workers to pick up the slack.

“Made in America” Should Mean Something

Candidate position

I believe in “Made in America” in real, practical ways: in the jobs we create, the products we buy, and the communities we invest in. When we hollow out our manufacturing base and send work overseas, workers here at home are left with fewer opportunities and less security.

Stop Rewarding Companies That Ship Jobs Overseas

Candidate position

One of the biggest failures in modern economic policy has been rewarding corporations for outsourcing jobs while shifting the costs onto working families. When companies move production to countries with lower wages and weaker labor standards, American workers lose, and then we’re asked to make up the difference.

Building at Home Strengthens Our Economy and Our Security

Candidate position

Manufacturing and skilled trades don’t just support families, they support national strength. When we depend too heavily on foreign supply chains, we expose ourselves to disruptions, shortages, and vulnerabilities that hurt working people first.

An Economy Built on Workers, Not Just Profits

Candidate position

For years, we’ve been told that if corporations do well, everyone else will benefit. But what we’ve seen instead is record profits at the top and tighter belts everywhere else. That’s not a failure of workers — it’s a failure of leadership.

A Fair Economy Starts With Respect for Work

Candidate position

My focus is simple: if you work hard, you should be able to afford to live with dignity, support your family, and plan for the future. That’s not asking for special treatment — it’s asking for a fair deal.

Stop Rewarding Companies That Ship Jobs Overseas

Candidate position

If corporations want tax breaks, subsidies, and access to American markets, they should earn them by creating good-paying jobs here, respecting workers’ rights, and investing in the communities that support them. Good corporate citizenship should be rewarded not avoided.

Building at Home Strengthens Our Economy and Our Security

Candidate position

Investing in American manufacturing means more than jobs. It means safer supply chains, stronger communities, and a future where working families can plan ahead instead of scrambling to survive the next economic shift.
