Blake supports expanding My Brother's Keeper and My Sister's Keeper programs, canceling federal student debt, protecting and strengthening the Department of Education, and expanding evidence-based programs in mentoring, literacy, debate, and career pathways.

Vega advocates for reinstituting classical education, emphasizing its importance in his own political development.

Blake supports Medicare for All to provide universal, comprehensive coverage with no premiums, no deductibles, and no surprise bills. He also advocates for safe staffing ratios, workplace violence protections, and fair contracts for nurses, and increased federal funding for Black and Latina maternal healthcare including access to doulas and midwives.

Vega supports a universal single-payer national health insurance system, but argues the U.S. healthcare system must first be rebuilt by increasing hospital beds to meet Hill-Burton Act standards, reducing administrative costs, and increasing medical personnel.

Blake proposes an Immigrant Bill of Rights that includes prosecuting ICE for crimes, repealing the Laken Riley Act, requiring real accountability in enforcement (enforcing anti-mask law against federal agents, requiring visible identification, establishing Safe Havens), guaranteeing due process and legal representation, protecting family unity, protecting workers with TPS, protecting privacy by banning local data sharing with ICE without a warrant, and guaranteeing access to safety and services regardless of immigration status.

Vega supports a robust immigration reform that provides residency and temporary work visas for immigrants, particularly from Mexico, and opposes current ICE deportation policies. He advocates for an international program that promotes economic development for all nations.

Blake states that the crimes Israel is committing in Gaza with U.S. tax dollars, weapons, and diplomatic cover are an affront to humanity. He calls for an immediate permanent ceasefire, a full international investigation into allegations of genocide and war crimes, rapid expansion of humanitarian aid, accountability for violations of international law, and strict adherence to the Arms Export Control Act and Leahy Law to stop military assistance to Israel.

Vega proposes the 'Oasis Plan' to create a truly free Palestine through economic development and infrastructure, and describes the situation in Gaza and the West Bank as genocide and a manifestation of U.S. foreign policy that regards Palestinians as obstacles to strategic dominance.

Blake's public safety agenda includes prosecuting ICE for operating without accountability, repealing the Laken Riley Act, expanding mental-health services, scaling community violence intervention programs, addressing quality-of-life issues, and focusing on precision policing rather than over-policing. He emphasizes that safety means fewer guns, fewer overdoses, and more help before harm occurs.
