Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports phasing out Michigan’s personal income tax and cutting a large portion of state regulations to spur growth, and advocates tax cuts and reduced regulatory burden as primary economic policies. The plan emphasizes making Michigan more competitive with no-income-tax states and prioritizes maintaining public safety funding while pursuing tax reductions.
Healthcare
Supports reducing government mandates and emphasizes private-sector/market approaches to health policy while prioritizing expanding mental-health services and opposing vaccine mandates and certain government-led cost measures. Positions emphasize limiting government intervention rather than advocating for expanded public coverage programs.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger enforcement and border security measures, including banning sanctuary cities and removing undocumented immigrants from communities. Emphasizes securing the border and credits strict enforcement for public safety. Does not advocate for expanded legal pathways or regularization in available sources.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate opposes abortion with very limited exceptions, stating the only acceptable exception is to protect the life of the mother and opposing exceptions for rape or incest. She has expressed support for reinstating or upholding strict pre-Roe Michigan restrictions and described existing near-total bans as positive. Her public statements emphasize that life begins at conception and prioritize fetal protection over broader health or rape/incest exceptions.
Climate & Energy
Supports keeping fossil-fuel infrastructure (including Line 5) operating and has criticized aggressive renewable/EV policies promoted by Democrats; emphasizes energy security and affordability over rapid renewables transitions. Frames proposals like the Green New Deal as harmful and argues against policies she says would raise energy costs for Michiganders.
Public Safety & Guns
Tudor Dixon opposes new gun restrictions and supports expanding gun rights, including advocating for constitutional carry and armed security in schools. She has said she does not support red-flag laws and emphasizes being tough on criminals rather than restricting lawful gun owners. She received endorsement from pro-gun organizations during her 2022 gubernatorial campaign.
