Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports lowering taxes broadly and eliminating certain taxes (including no taxes on Social Security, tips, and overtime). Advocates aggressive debt reduction (cutting the national debt by a minimum of 10% per year) and favors tax incentives for industries such as entertainment while opposing local measures like the “Mansion Tax.”
Healthcare
The candidate’s public materials state a general goal to “improve…health care” but do not set out specific policies (for example, support for Medicare for All, a public option, or market-based reforms). Available campaign material contains broad commitments to improving healthcare without concrete programmatic details.

Immigration & Border
Supports closing the U.S. border, deporting people who are in the country illegally, and enforcing existing immigration laws; calls for securing the border and stronger enforcement measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate says he is personally against abortion and supports allowing state legislatures to determine abortion policy; he also opposes taxpayer funding for abortion providers. These positions indicate support for restrictions and limits on federal funding while leaving regulatory decisions to states.
Climate & Energy
Supports allowing alternative energy sources and American oil to compete in a free market and frames climate solutions in market/competitive terms rather than endorsing aggressive federal emissions mandates. Advocates market-driven energy competition and does not propose major regulatory phase-outs of fossil fuels on the campaign site.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate opposes disarming law-abiding citizens and emphasizes prosecuting criminals who use guns rather than imposing new restrictions; he expresses strong support for law enforcement.
