Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports tax reform that does not raise taxes on working families, favors targeted tariffs as a revenue tool to reduce deficits, and prioritizes pro‑manufacturing/’Made in the USA’ policies to grow wages and cut debt.
Healthcare
Supports using targeted federal incentives and programs to expand access and lower costs, including stabilizing small hospitals, expanding telehealth, and maintaining or reinstating subsidies such as Medicaid to ease healthcare burdens on families. Emphasizes addressing both access and cost rather than large-scale privatization or full government takeover.

Immigration & Border
Supports immigration reform that emphasizes legal pathways and assimilation while addressing the shadow/underground economy; frames immigration as important personally (wife from Guatemala) and ties policy to promoting lawful naturalization. Statements combine support for legal pathways with concerns about unlawful employment and enforcement of immigration-related rules.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports an individual right to keep and bear arms and opposes what he describes as excessive taxes, regulations, or restrictions on gun ownership. Frames the Second Amendment as a protector of lawful self-defense and a check on government, and opposes efforts that would undermine that right.
