Bo French has called for mass deportations and advocated for sharply restricting immigration, including a public call to deport 100 million people. He has framed immigration as a cultural and security threat and promoted hardline enforcement-oriented measures.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

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. The campaign highlights relationships with industry donors and prioritizes market/industry-friendly approaches rather than aggressive emissions-target or phase-out policies.
