Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate advocates eliminating the federal income tax and abolishing property taxes, funding the federal government via tariffs instead, and strongly favors fiscal restraint, reduced federal spending, and limited government. The platform emphasizes tax cuts, restoring local control, and bringing manufacturing back through trade and tariff policy.

Immigration & Border

The candidate emphasizes stronger border security and consistent enforcement of immigration laws, including ending catch-and-release, restoring detention for repeat and dangerous offenders, and holding employers accountable (mandatory E-Verify). The campaign frames immigration as a law-and-order and public-safety issue and supports cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement to prevent trafficking and drug flow inland.

Climate & Energy

The candidate emphasizes local control, limiting federal mandates, and protecting businesses from burdensome climate policies while prioritizing wildfire prevention, active forest management, and water infrastructure. Policy language focuses on streamlined permitting, property rights, science-based water decisions, and managing land rather than broad emissions mandates or aggressive federal climate regulations.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate states the Second Amendment is absolute and pledges to defend it, oppose unconstitutional gun restrictions, and expand/protect open carry and constitutional carry. The campaign emphasizes support for law-abiding gun owners and increasing the ability of citizens to carry firearms for self-defense, especially in rural areas.
