The available record documents support for rural energy infrastructure projects but does not state positions on emissions targets, fossil fuel phase-out, carbon pricing, or major climate legislation.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports protecting the Second Amendment and emphasizes public safety and law enforcement; has received endorsements from multiple county sheriffs. Positions combine support for gun rights with a focus on law-and-order public safety priorities.
