Immigration & Border
Scott Bottoms has expressed positions favoring stronger enforcement and border control measures and has framed some migration and cross-jurisdictional movement in security terms. His public remarks and activities emphasize enforcement and criminal-justice responses rather than expanding legal pathways or asylum protections.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports strict anti-abortion policies, has sponsored legislation to establish personhood beginning at fertilization and to criminalize facilitating out-of-state abortions for minors, and has described access to abortion as "demonic."
Climate & Energy
Opposes Colorado’s recent 'green' energy policies and favors market-driven energy production and lower consumer energy costs; defends continued use of natural gas and criticizes state mandates to accelerate renewables as raising utility rates and harming consumers.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate has promoted defending and educating the public about Second Amendment rights and helped found a Colorado “Second Amendment Caucus” focused on protecting the right to keep and bear arms and promoting firearm safety and education. He has criticized use of the term “assault weapon” and framed the caucus as a response to proposed gun legislation. The available statements emphasize protecting gun rights while advocating education and safety rather than endorsing specific new restrictions.
