Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate opposes abortion, supports restricting access and preventing federal funding for abortion, and has sponsored and advocated for legislation to limit abortion access and protect the unborn. She has served as co-chair of the House Pro‑Life Caucus and promoted policies to block taxpayer funding for abortion.
Climate & Energy
Supports agricultural biofuels and market-based energy solutions, opposes broad federal spending or regulatory approaches such as California-style emissions standards, and emphasizes energy abundance and support for rural energy and agricultural interests. Positions emphasize protecting fossil-fuel-adjacent industries (biofuels, agriculture) and resisting aggressive emissions regulation rather than endorsing aggressive decarbonization mandates.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate strongly supports Second Amendment rights, opposes new federal gun-control measures, and emphasizes defending law‑abiding gun owners. The campaign lists endorsements and high ratings from pro-gun organizations and states a record of opposing regulatory actions by the Biden administration and co-sponsoring bills that roll back certain firearm regulations.
