Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports lower taxes, reduced regulation, and curbing federal spending to return savings to taxpayers and limit federal overreach.

Healthcare

The candidate emphasizes limited federal government in healthcare and parental rights in education and healthcare decisions, and opposes abortion access. Public materials and questionnaire responses show conservative-leaning positions on healthcare policy rather than support for government-led universal coverage.

Immigration & Border

Supports finishing construction of a southern border wall, expanding deportations of unauthorized immigrants, and full support for ICE and law enforcement resources to secure the border.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Opposes abortion and describes his position as pro-life, valuing the sanctity of human life "from conception to end" and pledging to defend the rights and dignity of the unborn. His campaign platform frames this as protecting the unborn and promoting a culture of life.

Climate & Energy

The candidate expresses skepticism about a climate emergency and opposes ‘‘knee-jerk’’ climate policies while advocating for support of domestic oil and natural gas production to lower energy prices. He frames climate action as potentially harmful to the economy and favors common-sense measures for air and water rather than aggressive emissions regulations.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports strong Second Amendment protections and pledges to protect the right to keep and bear arms without government infringement; expresses explicit support for law enforcement and providing police with resources to keep communities safe.

Last updatedMar 14, 2026

Darrell Day is running in the crowded Republican primary for Texas’s 32nd Congressional District, a seat reshaped by redistricting to be more favorable to Republicans. The race includes nine GOP candidates, and reports suggest it is likely headed to a runoff because no one is expected to clear 50% in the first round. The contest is being watched as part of a broader set of competitive Texas House primaries influenced by the new district lines.
