Summary:
Pro Choice
Supports Action Against Climate Change
LGBTQ - signed a bill that bans the practice of conversion therapy and another that protects people seeking or providing gender-affirming health care in Minnesota.
U.S.-Mexico border - likely to push for reform that offers a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented migrants.
Gun control - Gun owner, hunter, and veteran: understands guns. Supports gun control.
Israel-Gaza - Anti-hamas and historically pro-Israel, but no real insight beyond that on the current conflict.
Economy - Progressive, pro-labor legislation, The United Auto Workers (UAW) celebrated Harris’ decision to name Walz as her running mate. tax cuts to Minnesota residents, while raising taxes on some corporations and high earners.
Paid leave, free school meals, and other issues - Progressive.
My personal two cents - would have liked to see a more vocal anti-genocide stance on Israel, but Israel isn't really his concern as governor of Minnesota, so I'd expect some more global-issues-oriented statements soon as VP pick. Other than that... this dude's fuckin great!! My vote for Harris just became much more enthusiastic!
