Positions emphasize rejecting heavy regulation and implementing “fair energy policies” rather than aggressive fossil‑fuel phaseouts or Green New Deal–style mandates.
Public Safety & Guns
Michael Maxsenti emphasizes public safety and crime reduction, supports stricter legislation and tougher penalties for drug trafficking, and expresses support for law enforcement and border security.
