Democratic

His campaign says he has focused on democracy reform, consumer protection, and anti-corruption efforts, and he has also emphasized affordability, healthcare access, and reproductive rights.

Positions on Key Issues

Healthcare

high

Supports Medicare for All, including a single-payer national health insurance system, while also defending the Affordable Care Act and expanding access to care in rural communities. He says the plan would eliminate deductibles, co-pays, and premiums for covered care and preserve access to private insurance for people who want it.

Economy

high

Supports lower taxes for working families, higher taxes on ultra-millionaires, stronger small businesses and unions, and anti-corruption reforms aimed at making the economy work better for regular Mainers. His platform also includes reducing the national debt and limiting corporate influence.

Climate/Energy

high

Supports stronger environmental protections, action on climate change, and making renewable energy affordable. His campaign frames climate policy as a way to protect Maine's land, water, forests, and coastal industries.

Abortion & Reproductive Health

high

Supports restoring abortion rights nationwide, codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law, and increasing funding for Planned Parenthood and reproductive health care access. His campaign also says it would protect access to IVF and maternity care.

Immigration

high

Supports fixing the immigration system by ending unlawful arrests without due process or warrants and requiring proper identification for officers involved in immigration enforcement. His campaign presents immigration primarily as a due-process and civil-liberties issue.

Firearms & Second Amendment

high

Supports universal background checks, red flag laws, a ban on assault weapons, and more mental health and school safety funding to reduce gun violence.

Foreign Policy

medium

Supports promoting democracy and human rights and pursuing peace through diplomacy. His campaign materials do not appear to lay out a detailed country-by-country foreign policy agenda.

Civil Rights & Equality

high

Supports LGBTQ+ equality, the Equality Act, tribal sovereignty, and abortion rights as part of a broader civil-rights agenda. His campaign says it would protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Education

high

Supports making need-based federal student loans interest-free, enacting free community college, expanding universal pre-K, and broadening apprenticeships and trade schools.

Tech & AI

high

Supports regulating AI and algorithms when they are used for surveillance, tracking, predatory pricing, or rent fixing. His platform emphasizes consumer protection and anti-abuse rules rather than a pro-innovation technology agenda.

Election Policy

high

Supports overturning Citizens United, banning corporate PAC and lobbyist donations, ending dark money and partisan gerrymandering, protecting voting rights, and using public financing for elections.

Local Issues

high

Supports making housing more affordable by limiting corporate landlord purchases, curbing rent-price algorithms, accelerating new housing construction, and investing in rural broadband and infrastructure.
