Where do Chris Coons and Mike Katz differ on the issues?
Coons plans to invest in education and workforce programs to help citizens navigate the global economy. He is particularly invested in manufacturing and labor rights.
Katz would instead plan to cut federal programs he sees as “job killing,” and make pro-growth tax cuts permanent.
Coons and Katz believe in expanding access to health care, particularly in rural areas, and bringing down health care costs. However, Coons has pushed back against cuts to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, while Katz supports repealing the ACA in favor of more price transparency and competition in health care. To note, the only way to fully repeal the ACA would take approvals from both chambers of Congress.
According to his platform, Coons is in favor of stricter gun prevention measures, while Katz opposes restrictions on the Second Amendment.
On the topic of immigration, Coons believes in regulating Immigration and Customs Enforcement through legislation that creates an overseeing body to monitor the agency, and prevent officers from entering vulnerable locations like schools or hospitals.
Katz is in favor of border security, withholding funding for sanctuary jurisdictions and enforcing stricter immigration laws, among other things.
