Positions
Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border control and enforcement to stop cartels, human trafficking, and drug smuggling while rejecting closing the border outright and calling for "compassionate, common sense" immigration policies. Emphasizes taking back control of the border and controlling the flow of people entering the country.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes energy self-sufficiency and domestic manufacturing tied to environmentally safe conditions while also characterizing climate change as a global threat that requires political action; specific policy details (e.g., support for emissions targets, carbon pricing, or fossil fuel phase-out) are not stated on campaign materials reviewed.
