Immigration & Border

His public statements frame immigration primarily as an enforcement and election-integrity issue rather than advocating expanded legal pathways or regularization.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports significant restrictions on abortion, has sponsored heartbeat and other bans and has participated in legal efforts to defend near-total abortion restrictions in Wyoming. Endorses legal measures framing life as beginning at conception with limited exceptions for the mother’s health.
Climate & Energy
Supports expanded fossil-fuel development and energy independence, criticizes renewable "woke wind" projects and federal green subsidies, and frames climate concerns as ideological rather than requiring aggressive regulatory action.
Public Safety & Guns
Chuck Gray advocates for expanded armed self‑defense rights and has pushed to repeal or eliminate gun‑free zones, including allowing concealed carry in the state capitol and other state buildings. He frames gun‑free zones as “soft targets” and describes himself as pro‑Second Amendment.
