In their own wordsThe candidates' own published claims. An empty cell means nothing published on that issue — not opposition to it.
Economy

This will be determined at the very least by the cost of living, the current median salaries, and a few other factors. It will be enough for teachers not to have to get second jobs over the summer. ​ ​ ​ When annual budgets are established, teacher salaries need to be at the TOP of the list.

Laurel is committed to building an economy that rewards work, empowers small businesses, and prepares the next generation of American workers. She championed the permanent tax relief provisions recent

Environment

Below are some of his IDEAS: Access to Clean Energy Services Since Donald Trump’s term started in 2025, his administration has made decisions for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry and to the detriment of regular people. ​ Please read below for Robert's policies on lowering utility costs, expanding clean energy investments, restoring Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, and restoring Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) programs.

No published position.

Healthcare

Medicare For All Health care is a human right. ​ We have proven time and time again that we have the capacity to support Medicare For All, and there has been enough "kicking this can down the road." Robert will support universal healthcare to ensure that our citizens receive the healthcare they need without being financially drained just to pay for medication(s), forcing them to decide between paying a bill or receiving, in many cases, life-saving medicines.

No published position.

Immigration

​ ​ Reform Immigration System The last significant and comprehensive immigration reform in the U.S. was the Immigration Reform Act and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, that was signed by President Reagan. ​ There needs to be a much better and clearer path to citizenship that does not involve immigrants who are doing the right thing having to wait years for their citizenship.

Public Safety
