Where I stand.

You feel squeezed because we let the biggest companies maximize profit at your expense and called it a healthy stock market. That is not capitalism working. It is capitalism with no referee. Almost everything else on this page, building more homes, an honest health market, cheap clean power, a simpler tax code, is really one promise: bring your costs down by making the market answer to you instead of only to its shareholders.

Above all else, a woman has full authority over her own body, and no one, least of all the government, gets to override that. It's my firm opinion that a woman cannot be an equal citizen if the state can tell her what goes and what doesn't with her own healthcare. I will defend that line in the Senate without flinching.

Solar and heat pumps got cheap, reliable, and frankly obvious while Washington was busy arguing. Every roof that wants panels should be able to get them at an easy financed rate and sell power back to the grid. This is climate policy and cost-of-living policy at the same time. We stop torching money on fossil fuels when the better, cheaper option is sitting right above us. I will back the federal financing to make it the default.

Our system is broken in a way that is almost dishonest. Whole industries run on workers we refuse to give a legal way in. I would build real employment-based visas with clear terms so the people our economy already depends on can come and work in the open. And I would get serious about the instability in our own hemisphere that drives people to flee, instead of pretending it has nothing to do with us. You honor the rule of law by writing laws that match reality.

New Hampshire knows the opioid crisis better than anywhere, and underneath it is despair. You do not fix despair by looking away. I want a real, well-funded path for anyone who wants to get clean and get back on their feet, paired with the harm-reduction tools that keep people alive long enough to get there. Recovery is cheaper than the alternative, in every way that counts.

We pulled the trades out of public schools and called it progress. It was a mistake that helped break both our economy and our towns. I want rigor back in K-12 and a real trades pipeline standing next to the college track, not beneath it, so a good career does not require a four-year degree and a pile of debt. And I will fight to protect public research funding at the NSF and NIH, because that is the seed corn of everything we build next.

The tax code is not too soft on the wealthy because the rates are low. It is because it is so complicated that anyone who can afford the lawyers carves their way out. I would radically simplify it so the people at the top actually pay what the rest of us already do, and make it easy and meaningful for those who want to give back to the public good. Then I would go after waste with the same energy.

I believe in standing with our allies and carrying our share of keeping the world stable. I do not believe a President should take us to war without Congress, and I would restore that check. And I am certain we can keep our troops the best-supported in the world while cutting the colossal waste we hand to contractors. Ukraine and the drone wars made it plain: more expensive is not the same as more capable.

This is the work I actually come from. AI is going to reshape the economy in ways nobody can honestly predict, so the responsible move is not to pretend we can micromanage the technology. It is to make the things people fall back on, healthcare, housing, the basics, strong enough to absorb the shock. Privacy, digital and financial both, is a core human right, and I will work to write it into law. New data centers should carry their own weight on the grid instead of passing the cost to you.
