Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Neil Patel has indicated that abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive government funding, but has not provided a clear, detailed public position on when abortion should be permitted or specific restrictions/bans. Publicly available questionnaire responses and campaign materials do not state a comprehensive stance on abortion access or gestational limits.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports gun rights and identifies as pro-gun while running as a Republican for U.S. House (OH-13). Holds pro-Second Amendment positions as reflected by a high rating from the NRA and past local reporting describing him as ‘pro gun.’
