Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

Supports stronger immigration enforcement and tighter controls on noncitizen participation in civic processes; has sought federal immigration/citizenship data to verify voter eligibility and called for congressional and federal action to close perceived loopholes allowing noncitizens to register or vote. Has framed recent federal policy as allowing increased noncitizen entry and emphasizes use of federal verification (SAVE) and state measures to remove or notify registrants whose citizenship cannot be confirmed.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate identifies as pro‑life and has received endorsement from Indiana Right to Life, indicating support for abortion restrictions. Public statements and endorsements align him with restricting abortion access rather than supporting unrestricted access.

Climate & Energy

As Secretary of State, Diego Morales has acted against asset managers for promoting ESG investing and criticized commitments to net-zero emissions, framing such practices as misleading to investors. His public actions focus on policing ESG-related financial products rather than supporting aggressive climate regulations or major clean-energy programs.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate supports expanding carrying rights for statewide officials and their staff in the Indiana Statehouse and expresses support for the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Public statements and office representatives have backed legislation to allow certain statewide elected officials and their employees to carry handguns on Capitol grounds. There is no clear evidence in these sources of support for major new gun restrictions such as assault weapons bans or universal background checks.
