Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports abolishing the IRS, simplifying the tax code, cutting unnecessary regulations, shrinking the federal government, and restoring fiscal discipline to reduce government spending and encourage private investment.

Healthcare

The candidate’s campaign materials emphasize improving veterans’ access to care, VA accountability, and expanded rural mental-health services but do not state a clear position on broader federal healthcare programs such as the ACA, Medicare, or Medicaid. The platform emphasizes shrinking federal bureaucracy and returning control to local communities, suggesting a preference for limited federal intervention in policy areas. Overall, healthcare statements are specific to veterans and mental-health access rather than comprehensive federal healthcare reform.

Immigration & Border

Supports strong border enforcement with increased resources to stop illegal crossings, drug trafficking, and human smuggling while stating that immigration should be legal, orderly, and protect due process. Endorses enforcement-focused measures alongside calls for orderly legal immigration pathways.
