    • Under “Invest in the American Middle Class” in his platform on his campaign website, he promises that “If elected, one of my first priorities will be to reverse the healthcare cuts Brian Fitzpatrick is responsible for helping pass in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” He goes on to say that “Those cuts put lifesaving care further out of reach for too many families, while giving tax breaks for billionaires” and promises to “fight to restore that crucial funding to programs like Medicaid and make sure every family has access to affordable, quality healthcare. Quality healthcare that includes dental, vision, and mental healthcare services. Our communities deserve leaders who put people’s health ahead of corporate profits.”
    • Under “Invest in the American Middle Class” in his platform on his campaign website, he says “abortion is healthcare. I believe that women should be able to make their own reproductive healthcare choices, not the government. I’ll support funding Planned Parenthood.”
