Positions
Economy & Taxes

He has also sponsored a measure to provide a full property tax exemption for qualifying combat veterans with a service-connected disability. Together, these positions point toward lower taxes and tax relief rather than tax increases or expanded spending.

Immigration & Border
Kolodin has backed measures that frame Arizona's border situation as an invasion or public safety crisis and push for aggressive state action against unauthorized entry. He has also sponsored legislation to return certain detained or arrested individuals to the border and to require state cooperation with federal immigration-status information sharing.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Kolodin’s questionnaire responses support legal protection for human life from conception and say elective abortion should be allowed only in exceptional circumstances such as the life of the mother. He also supports defunding abortion providers and enforcing the Comstock Act against abortion-inducing drugs.
Climate & Energy
Alexander Kolodin has said he does not know whether climate change is real or what its magnitude is, and he frames the relevant policy issue as preparing Arizona for lower Colorado River flows rather than centering climate politics. He also advocates a market-based approach to water rights, arguing that the state’s water problem is driven by red tape and should be handled through transferable property rights.
Public Safety & Guns
Alexander Kolodin has sponsored legislation to remove Arizona’s prohibited-weapons category, including suppressors, fully automatic firearms, and short-barreled rifles and shotguns. His legislative record also includes support for barring firearm registries and merchant-category-code tracking of firearm retailers, indicating a strongly pro-gun regulatory posture.
