Where they stand

In their own words, from their campaign website, summarised in plain English.

Economy and cost of living

Harvie says he wants to roll back Trump's tariffs, raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, ban AI-driven surveillance pricing on groceries and other essentials, and strengthen enforcement against price gouging. He also says he wants to build homes quickly for younger and older residents.

“I believe we need to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.”

Taxes and government spending

Harvie says he will fight for a middle-class tax cut while making large corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

“I’ll fight for a middle class tax cut while ensuring large corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share”

Health care

Harvie says healthcare should be a right. He wants to permanently restore and expand the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, lower the Medicare buy-in age from 65 to 55, expand Medicare's power to negotiate drug prices, and cap insulin costs.

“Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.”
Accurate?

Social Security and Medicare

Harvie says he wants to expand Medicare's authority to negotiate prescription drug prices and let people buy into Medicare starting at 55 instead of 65. The passages do not describe a Social Security plan.

“I believe we need to lower the age that Americans can buy into Medicare from 65 to 55.”

Money

From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.
