Positions
Economy & Taxes
Jefferson Shreve has publicly committed to opposing tax increases and backing pro-growth tax policies for businesses and individuals, including signing a pledge to oppose new income tax hikes and advocating extension of 2017 TCJA provisions. He has also proposed local property-tax relief measures such as a property-tax “freeze” for certain homeowners.
Healthcare
The candidate has said he will work with healthcare leaders to lower inflated health care costs and has met with hospital leaders about safeguarding rural hospitals, but has not published detailed policy proposals on coverage expansions or major reforms. Public statements and local reporting focus on cost reduction and rural hospital stability rather than explicit support for Medicare-for-All, a public option, or major market-based overhauls.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border enforcement including completing the southern border wall, ending "catch-and-release," and taking steps to reduce cross-border drug trafficking; favors deporting some people in the country unlawfully while acknowledging nuance. Emphasizes securing the southern border as a top national priority.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro-life and says he will work to "protect the unborn," while previously stating he would not use city resources to criminalize doctors for performing abortions. His public messaging and campaign materials emphasize opposition to abortion and support for restrictions on abortion access.
Climate & Energy
Supports lowering energy costs and boosting U.S. energy independence while opposing the Green New Deal; favors development of wind and solar alongside other measures to support farmers facing high fuel costs and to limit regulatory overreach. Emphasizes energy independence and moderate clean-energy development rather than aggressive fossil-fuel phaseout or Green New Deal–style policies.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports local firearm restrictions including banning assault-style weapons in Indianapolis, restoring a permit requirement (ending permitless carry), and raising the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21; emphasizes using executive authority and state lobbying to pursue those changes while also expanding police staffing and public-safety leadership.
