Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports preserving and strengthening New Hampshire’s low-tax, limited-government approach and opposes federal tax increases and one-size-fits-all regulations. Has committed to opposing tax increases (signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge) and frames policy toward protecting small businesses and reducing regulatory burdens.
Healthcare
Supports strengthening private-market coverage and has opposed the federal Affordable Care Act, voting to repeal it while previously supporting Massachusetts’ 2006 state-level near-universal health reform. Advocates market-based reforms rather than creating a new federal government insurance program.

Immigration & Border
Emphasizes securing the southern border and opposes broad “amnesty” or pathways that would legalize large numbers of undocumented immigrants. Supports stronger enforcement measures (fences/walls, surveillance, troops) while expressing limited support for allowing certain foreign students or needed seasonal workers to remain.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has described himself as pro-choice and said he supports continued funding for Planned Parenthood and access to contraception, but his record includes support for “women’s right to know” measures (waiting periods and mandated information/pictures) and votes that limited abortion funding, producing a mixed or unclear overall stance on abortion policy.
Climate & Energy
Supports an "all-of-the-above" energy approach that includes renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuels; has opposed cap-and-trade and measures he described as a "national energy tax" and has criticized EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases. Positioning has at times included skepticism about whether man-made climate change is scientifically proven.
Public Safety & Guns
Scott Brown says he supports the Second Amendment and responsible gun ownership while also supporting certain regulations such as background checks and licensing; he has opposed nationwide right-to-carry reciprocity and at times supported limits on assault weapons while favoring state-level decisions. His record and statements show support for both gun-rights measures (concealed carry) and some gun-safety regulations.
