Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for seniors (a home-repair tax credit and waived permit fees) and lists goals to reduce fiscal waste, increase revenue, and balance the budget. Limited public material documents these local tax proposals but does not provide a broader federal tax or economic plan for OR-04.
Healthcare
Opposes mandated medication and unnecessary regulation, supports options for veterans to see non-VA doctors, and seeks to protect private-practice doctors from frivolous lawsuits; also advocates recruiting healthcare providers and reopening a local hospital.

Immigration & Border
Supports securing the border, building a border wall, enforcing immigration laws, and deporting people in the country illegally. Opposes sanctuary jurisdictions and advocates stronger federal penalties related to immigration enforcement.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s campaign materials emphasize local transportation (a proposed 24-hour bus system) and urban tree canopy but do not lay out specific state- or federal-level climate or energy policies. Public coverage notes he has discussed environmental protection in candidate forums, but there is no clear record of support for major climate legislation, emissions targets, or detailed energy positions. Overall public statements are general and lack concrete climate/energy policy specifics.
Public Safety & Guns
Opposes new gun regulations and strongly defends the Second Amendment, calling for penalties against lawmakers who enact restrictions; has publicly opposed specific gun-control legislation.
