Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
McDowell supports lowering taxes, especially for families and seniors, and pairing that with cuts to wasteful federal spending. He has also backed a balanced-budget constitutional amendment and described Republican reconciliation efforts as a way to reduce taxes and strengthen the economy.
Healthcare
McDowell has supported several health-related measures focused on specific problems, including opioid response, a health sciences center for workforce training, and legislation related to stuttering and pregnancy-loss mental health research. The available evidence shows support for targeted health access and treatment initiatives, but not a clear broader healthcare ideology.

McDowell says he will vote 100% pro-life and champion pro-life causes and legislation in Congress. He opposes taxpayer support for abortion and says Democrats want no limits on abortion, even up to the 9th month.
