Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security and prioritizes securing the border as part of public safety and law-and-order priorities. Policy language on his campaign site and local reporting frames immigration/border control as part of reducing crime and protecting communities, without detailed proposals for large-scale deportations or broad restrictionist measures.
Climate & Energy
The candidate has said lowering the cost of energy is a priority to reduce household expenses but provides no detailed climate or energy policy proposals such as emissions targets, clean energy investment, or fossil fuel phase-out. Public materials emphasize economic concerns and affordability rather than specific climate-action measures. Overall policy positions on climate mitigation and energy transition are not clearly specified in available campaign statements.
