He also proposes targeted revenue measures such as taxing large university endowments to fund vocational education while emphasizing enforcement-driven spending priorities (border, law enforcement) and scrutiny of government contracts.
Immigration & Border
The candidate supports securing the southern border and backs stronger enforcement measures such as defunding sanctuary jurisdictions. He emphasizes targeting human traffickers and fentanyl dealers tied to cross-border criminal activity while aligning with an 'America First' enforcement-oriented agenda.

No source located that endorses codifying Roe-like unrestricted access or explicitly supports near-total bans or personhood amendments.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate firmly defends the Second Amendment and opposes new gun-control measures, saying he will not support restrictions that infringe on gun ownership rights; he has expressed support for permitless/constitutional carry and trains civilians and law-enforcement in firearms through his business.
