Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports cutting taxes and lowering energy costs to reduce inflation and make life more affordable; proposes tax reductions as part of his economic platform while also advocating elimination of certain tax provisions.

Healthcare
The candidate explicitly pledges to protect Medicare and Social Security from cuts and has called for eliminating the federal tax on Social Security benefits to provide relief for seniors.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports securing the U.S. border and giving law enforcement expanded resources to deport people who entered the country illegally, with emphasis on removing terrorists, gang members, criminals, drug traffickers, fraudsters, and human traffickers. The campaign frames immigration policy within an "America First" and border-security agenda and endorses stronger enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate describes himself as pro‑life and says he supports the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade, but also says abortion policy decisions should be made by states rather than the federal government and that he would vote against a federal abortion ban or other federal law affecting abortion. His statements combine a personal anti‑abortion stance with opposition to federal abortion legislation.
Climate & Energy
Advocates lowering energy costs and reducing regulations, emphasizing affordability and support for an America-first agenda rather than proposing aggressive emissions targets or large federal clean-energy programs. Campaign materials prioritize cheaper gas and regulatory rollback as part of an economic plan. No campaign statements committing to Paris-style targets or Green New Deal–style policies were found in the cited materials.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strong Second Amendment protections and opposes taking away legal firearms; emphasizes responsible gun ownership and says removing legal guns makes communities more vulnerable. Endorsed by local Second Amendment advocacy groups and frames defending the Second Amendment as a core campaign priority.
