Positions
Economy & Taxes
Daniel Miressi supports significant tax reform that would lower rates, advocating a 15% flat tax and a small national sales tax while blaming inflation on excessive government spending and calling for reduced government fiscal burden. His public statements emphasize tax cuts and limiting government spending.
Healthcare
Supports healthcare price transparency and opposition to broad medical mandates; emphasizes local/family control of health decisions and prioritizes mental-health services without expanded statewide mandates. Policy language centers on lowering costs through transparency and resisting government-imposed medical mandates rather than expanding public insurance programs.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
