Positions
Immigration & Border
Colleen O'Donnell presents herself as a constitutional conservative on immigration and border issues. Her campaign says she handled illegal entry and asylum cases as a U.S. immigration judge, never once granted asylum, and consistently ordered the removal of people in the country illegally.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The available public record does not show a clear abortion-policy position. One reported statement says she has no preconceived ideas about case outcomes in matters pending before the court involving abortion or any other subject.

Public Safety & Guns
Colleen O'Donnell presents herself as a constitutional conservative who would protect public safety and support a conservative approach to the Ohio Supreme Court. Her campaign biography emphasizes holding violent offenders accountable and enforcing the law as written, which aligns more with a tough-on-crime, law-and-order posture than with gun-restriction advocacy.
