Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for service members and veterans and emphasizes reducing government burden on small businesses and unleashing American energy, coupled with broader conservative priorities that imply preference for lower taxes and reduced spending. Campaign materials list eliminating tax on military pay for service members and veterans and propose pro-growth, small-government economic priorities.
Healthcare
Supports policies to protect and strengthen federal payment programs that benefit rural and critical-access hospitals (e.g., 340B program and supplemental payments) without advocating expanded federal coverage or a public-option. Public materials emphasize stability for rural healthcare providers as a priority. No public statements found supporting Medicare for All or major expansions of government coverage.

Immigration & Border
Supports legal immigration while calling for strict enforcement against illegal immigration and stronger border control. Emphasizes enforcement when people enter unlawfully rather than advocating for expanded humanitarian or regularization measures.
Climate & Energy
The candidate's campaign emphasizes "unleash American energy," framing energy as part of a conservative, pro–American-energy platform and prioritizing energy independence rather than aggressive emissions targets or Green New Deal–style policies.
