Supports significant tax reduction measures including votes to phase out the state income tax and promotes pro-business, small-government policies aimed at reducing tax burdens and encouraging economic growth.

No clear statement supporting major federal reforms (Medicare for All or full repeal of the ACA) is found. The candidate emphasizes protecting health-care workers and has a background operating small medical clinics; his public materials focus on targeted state-level measures rather than broad coverage expansions. Overall public materials and news coverage show activity on health-related legislation and clinic ownership but do not articulate a comprehensive position on insurance coverage or large federal health-policy changes.

His legislative votes align with restrictive, pro-life policy positions rather than protecting broad abortion access.
