Supports legal protection for human life from conception and opposes taxpayer funding for abortion providers; identified as a vocal proponent of anti‑abortion efforts.
Climate & Energy
The candidate positions emphasize strong support for Texas oil and gas, pro-energy policies, and pushing back against regulation and DEI in the energy sector while framing the Railroad Commission as a defender of the state’s fossil-fuel industry.
