Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate supports tax cuts and pro-growth, pro-manufacturing tax policies including permanent small-business tax cuts, expanding the 20% small business deduction, and full expensing for factory equipment. He emphasizes reducing regulatory burdens, faster permitting, and opposing large federal spending that he ties to inflation.

Healthcare

Opposes a government-guaranteed right to health insurance and rejects eliminating private health insurance. Supports increasing competition (including across state lines), removing uniform federal benefit mandates, and expanding Medicare selectively for high-risk individuals while keeping the private insurance market as the primary option.

Show more

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate opposes abortion and identifies with the pro‑life/right‑to‑life movement, supporting restrictions on abortion with a narrow exception to save the life of the mother or prevent serious harm to her health.

Public Safety & Guns

Opposes general gun-control legislation while supporting a basic background check for criminal activity; views state and local restrictions on the right to bear arms as unconstitutional infringements.
