Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
Kevin Hermening criticizes the Affordable Care Act as reducing competition and argues that Medicaid reimbursements do not adequately pay for services; he highlights Trump administration actions to lower drug costs and emphasizes lowering costs generally rather than expanding government programs.
Immigration & Border
Kevin Hermening has said border security is a central concern of his campaign and cited federal handling of the border among his motivations for running for Congress. Public reporting of his campaign announcements and interviews notes concerns about border security but does not provide detailed policy prescriptions or proposals. Based on available public statements, his position on immigration and border policy is therefore unclear or mixed in specificity.
