Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border enforcement and action against cartels and trafficking, emphasizes protecting citizens and unaccompanied minors at the border, and backs law enforcement. Position frames immigration primarily as a security and law-and-order issue rather than expanding legal pathways or asylum protections.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro-life and advocates policies framed as protecting children and opposing “non-life affirming” healthcare. The campaign lists affiliation with Texas Alliance for Life and groups aligned with anti‑abortion positions. Her public campaign materials emphasize a pro‑child/pro‑life stance consistent with a strongly conservative position on abortion.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s campaign materials make only brief, general references to ‘‘respecting our water, energy and land’’ and emphasize deregulation and reducing federal regulation for businesses, without specific climate or energy policy proposals. Public records and profiles do not provide detailed positions on emissions targets, fossil fuel phase-out, or clean energy investments. Overall, the available public statements on climate and energy are vague and do not show a clear policy direction.
