Immigration & Border
Supports restoring order at the border by processing asylum applications outside the United States (return to Migrant Protection Protocols) while offering a structured, earned process for non-violent immigrants already in the U.S. that includes temporary protected status, work permits, eligibility for permanent residency, and eligibility for citizenship after five years of permanent residency; calls for ICE reforms and pauses additional ICE funding until reforms are in place.
Climate & Energy
The candidate supports market-based approaches to address climate issues and includes policies such as funding flood-resistant homes and other resilience measures in his platform. His campaign emphasizes pragmatic, market-oriented climate solutions rather than opposing climate action or endorsing fossil-fuel expansion.
