Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Peyton Grinnell has supported local millage increases to fund public-safety related expenditures (for example, a 0.75‑mill ballot measure to fund school security and deputies). Beyond endorsements of specific local tax measures for public safety, there is no clear, comprehensive public record of a broader philosophy on taxes or on major federal/state tax changes in the sources found.

Immigration & Border

Supports local law-enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities and programs to hold and transfer noncitizens charged with or convicted of crimes to ICE custody. Has implemented local agreements and training to assist ICE in executing warrants and transferring criminal noncitizens for deportation.
