Positions
Economy & Taxes
Platform calls for cutting wasteful spending, balancing the budget, and simplifying the tax code while also supporting changes to Social Security funding by removing the payroll tax income cap. Questionnaire answers oppose student loan forgiveness, oppose using ESG criteria for public investments, and emphasize making homeownership affordable and promoting market-oriented education and business policies. These positions show a mix of fiscal restraint and some targeted revenue/benefit changes rather than a clear progressive or conservative tax stance.
Healthcare
The candidate’s campaign platform emphasizes declaring a national mental health emergency, creating a special committee on mental health, and directing funding toward evidence-based solutions including support for veterans and the homeless. The platform does not state a clear position on broader healthcare issues such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicare/Medicaid policy, a public option, or privatization.

Immigration & Border
Supports securing the border and enforcing existing immigration laws, including deportation for individuals who violate laws or pose threats, while also supporting streamlined legal immigration to meet labor needs. Advocates enforcing current laws rather than new legislation.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
States that abortion is a state issue and says he would not vote for or against federal abortion measures; opposes taxpayer funding for abortion providers and describes a personal family decision to choose life when doctors suggested abortion.
Climate & Energy
Supports increasing domestic energy production as part of economic policy and emphasizes boosting energy production; platform materials do not describe aggressive emissions regulation or Green New Deal–style targets. Public campaign materials reference energy production within an economic agenda but contain no detailed climate-policy commitments.
