Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate has proposed generating state revenue by allowing and heavily taxing casinos and by taxing electronic gaming centers, directing proceeds to the general fund for Medicaid, prisons, and public safety. There is limited public documentation of broader tax philosophy (e.g., positions on income or corporate tax rates) in available sources.

Healthcare

Nathan Mathis has proposed using revenue from expanded casino gambling to help fund Medicaid and other state needs. Public reporting and campaign materials show limited, specific statements about funding Medicaid but do not present a broader, detailed position on the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion policy, or other major healthcare reforms.
