Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports a simpler tax code, reduced government spending, fiscal discipline, and policies that promote growth from the private sector (incentives to reshore manufacturing, infrastructure investment, and reduced federal red tape).
Healthcare
Supports market-oriented reforms to lower costs through transparency, competition, expanded Health Savings Accounts, and streamlined regulations while protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions and strengthening Medicare’s long-term sustainability via public–private partnerships. Emphasizes patient control over bureaucratic approaches and targeted expansions for access to mental and behavioral health services.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security and enforcement measures, including backing law enforcement and cracking down on drug and human trafficking; aligns with President Trump’s “secure the border” priorities. Policy language emphasizes enforcement and border control rather than pathways to legalization or expanded asylum protections.
Climate & Energy
Supports an all-of-the-above, Texas-first energy approach that includes oil and gas, renewables, carbon capture, and next-generation nuclear while opposing heavy-handed federal mandates and favoring market-driven solutions and incentives. Prioritizes energy production, infrastructure modernization, and streamlined federal permitting to support reliability and affordability.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate affirms the Second Amendment as a fundamental right and says law-abiding Americans have the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. He opposes federal overreach on firearms regulation, supports enforcing existing laws to keep guns from violent criminals, and calls for limits on administrative agency rulemaking (e.g., ATF) that he says bypasses Congress.
