Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
Opposes government-run healthcare and criticizes the Affordable Care Act as having raised costs and wait times. Supports increasing competition in the insurance market (including antitrust action against large insurers) and cutting benefits for undocumented immigrants to reduce budgetary pressure. Emphasizes reducing government involvement in healthcare policy.
Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security measures including construction/strengthening of a border wall and increased border protection; frames immigration as a national-security issue and calls for action at the border. Positions emphasize enforcement and border control rather than expanded legal pathways or broad regularization.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports constitutional protection for unborn children from the moment of conception and argues that unborn babies must be afforded due-process rights, effectively endorsing legal recognition of personhood for embryos/fetuses. His campaign policy page calls for that protection to prevent states or the federal government from depriving the unborn of life or liberty. External profiles characterize him as supporting abortion bans consistent with that position.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports national constitutional carry and opposes red flag laws, framing them as violations of the Second Amendment. Advocates for removing restrictions on carrying firearms across states and enforcing broad gun rights at the federal level.
