Positions
LiberalConservative
Immigration & Border
The candidate emphasizes strengthened border security and tougher enforcement against undocumented immigration while prioritizing Americans first; his campaign messaging links immigration to criminality and public-resource concerns. He frames immigration as a border-security issue and supports policies aligned with conservative/Trump-era enforcement approaches rather than expanded pathways to citizenship or asylum-focused reforms.
Climate & Energy
Supports energy independence and regulatory reform to lower costs and restore U.S. energy dominance, emphasizing market-driven approaches and keeping energy affordability and grid reliability as priorities. No evidence found of support for aggressive emissions targets, Green New Deal–style policies, or detailed climate mitigation proposals on the campaign site or available press coverage.
