Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports pro-growth tax policies that provide certainty for businesses, favors repeal of certain taxes on manufacturers, and opposes large ‘tax-and-spend’ bills that raise taxes and expand federal spending. Emphasizes reducing federal spending and protecting households from tax increases tied to energy and other policies.
Healthcare
The candidate supports short-term extensions of Affordable Care Act premium tax credits while calling the ACA flawed and seeking Republican-led reforms to lower costs; he emphasizes finding market-oriented solutions and working with GOP leadership on changes. His public statements show pragmatic support for temporary relief measures but a preference for reform rather than expanding government-run coverage.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports stronger border security and increased immigration enforcement funding, including physical barriers and more resources for agents and detention. He has voted for and publicly backed legislation to tighten border controls while also supporting some humanitarian protections (e.g., Temporary Protected Status for Ukrainians).
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate holds that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion and praised the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision returning authority over abortion policy to the states. He described the decision as a victory for states’ rights and the sanctity of life, indicating support for restricting abortion at the federal constitutional level.
Climate & Energy
David P. Joyce supports domestic fossil fuel production and has criticized Biden administration policies he says restrict American energy production and raise consumer energy costs. His statements and voting record show opposition to some federal clean-energy measures and emphasis on energy affordability and independence rather than aggressive emissions regulation.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks, targeted red-flag measures, and a ban on bump stocks while also framing policy as bipartisan and focused on public safety. Has cosponsored and supported legislation aimed at improving law enforcement coordination and cracking down on illegal firearms possession.
