Establish a single-payer Medicare for All system that replaces most private health insurance.
unclear: Item 52 (phased M4A = unclear)
Official campaign position"If it's just like Medicare for all starting tomorrow and it's just like instituted and now we got to figure it out on a whim," Poindexter said, "I don't know if I could support that."
Create a public health-insurance option that competes with private plans.
Backs lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 55 as a phased step; no public option open to all.
I do like the phased-in approach that I've been hearing about for Medicare for all, like starting off with bringing the age for qualifying for Medicare down a little bit to 55.
Raise the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour.
unclear: raise minimum wage, no amount
I support expanding access to unions and raising the minimum wage.
Expand the Child Tax Credit beyond current law, in amount or refundability.
Research found no documented position. This is not opposition.
Impose or expand rent regulation (rent caps, rent control or rent stabilization), at any level of government.
Research found no documented position. This is not opposition.
Use federal policy to loosen local zoning and land-use rules so more housing gets built.
Research found no documented position. This is not opposition.
Enact legal protections for workers against replacement or displacement by AI, such as notice, bargaining rights or limits on replacement.
support: protect workers from AI displacement (rule 12)
I believe we need strong protections to make sure AI does not displace workers
US weapons to Israel: support or oppose
unclear: Item 37 (spokesperson) + rule 8 (no military aid named)
Official campaign positionRegarding his approach to Israel, Poindexter “supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state, supports Israel’s security and will work to ensure peace and stability in the region,” she said, without sharing specifics.
Increase federal funding for border security and enforcement (CBP, barriers, technology, personnel).
unclear: secure border, no resources (item 51, Parsi)
I support a secure border and would work with anyone to make sure our border is strong and secure.
Limit new data-centre construction, including AI data centres, or make operators pay the full cost of the power, water and grid upgrades they use.
support: campaign site calls for limits on new data-centre construction, local power to reject projects, or operators paying their own power/water/grid costs
Official campaign positionData centers Local communities must have control over whether data centers are built, and no one should pay a cent more for utilities to subsidize data centers.
None documented yet.
Affiliation means documented membership or endorsement, backed by a dated source. Agreeing on policy is not affiliation, and membership never fills in a candidate's positions. Constituency caucuses represent communities, not ideologies, so their membership isn't a policy position. If no relationship is shown, none has been documented yet. That doesn't prove there is none.

Five questions, each answered only from the candidate’s own words, their campaign’s published position, a joint statement they issued, or a recorded House vote. Any condition or limit they attached is shown with the quote. “No public position found” means a reviewed search of their campaign site and official statements found nothing; it is not a position.
