1.) Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy---- no elective wars overseas (Iraq 2.0, Central America '80s, Vietnam/ Cambodia '68+).

2.) Support for US and Global Labor and Environmental Rights

3.) Opposition to unfair trade policies that promote a "race to the bottom", but still recognize a role that international trade has in terms of a "rising tide lifts...."

4.) Opposition to the Social Conservative Movement's attempts to roll-back the gains that the LGBTQ and Women's Movements have made over the past 50 Years.

5.) Support for a Progressive taxation policy, as opposed to a Regressive taxation policy, with the added revenue directly supporting programs that have been gutted over the past 40 years at Federal  and State levels.... (There are a ton of such programs).

6.) 100% rejection of racism and xenophobia as an attempt to cynically exploit resentments against minority populations within the United States because of race, religion, ethnicity, and country of origin.

7.) Support for some type of Universal Health Care system that expands financial access leveraging existing Federal programs that both lower costs, and provide a high level of service.

These are just a few items on my wish list....

You're requesting a Democrat. You'll never find an actual Republican (someone like Badger doesn't count) who will give you all seven of those things. The more moderate Republicans typically are either a bit more libertarian (meaning 2,3,5, and 7 are out) or they're a bit more fiscally leftist (in which case one or both of 4 and 6 are out).

I'm sure there are regular Republicans like that even though the Jacob Javits wing is long gone from Republican politicians.
