Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports replacing property taxes with a sales tax and has proposed shifting local tax burdens toward a sales-tax model rather than property taxes. Campaign materials emphasize limited-government language and changes to tax structure rather than advocating higher taxes or expanded redistribution.

Healthcare

Opposes certain government public-health interventions (including water fluoridation and COVID vaccines/mandates) and favors cutting social welfare programs; expresses skepticism of federal health agencies and international health organizations. Statements emphasize individual liberty and reduced government involvement in health policy.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate opposes abortion and has publicly advocated for laws recognizing life at conception. He has repeatedly raised strong opposition to abortion at forums and in public testimony and urged passage of an "Alaska life at conception" measure.

Climate & Energy

Opposes aggressive government-led climate regulation and favors removing state and federal obstacles to resource development and local fuel/food procurement. Offers no detailed emissions-reduction policy proposals and frames climate action plans skeptically. Statements emphasize minimizing government intervention rather than endorsing major clean-energy mandates.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports strong Second Amendment rights and emphasizes responsible gun ownership while highlighting armed civilians who acted in shootings as positive examples; focuses on cultural and societal causes of violence rather than new federal gun restrictions. No support for broad gun-control measures is articulated in available statements.
