Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports direct monthly child tax credits, expanded social supports (universal childcare, teacher retention bonuses), caps on predatory interest, and measures to redirect billionaire and large-corporate burdens toward working families while opposing tariff-driven price increases.
Healthcare
Supports protecting and reforming Medicare to ensure solvency and reducing prescription drug prices as part of a broader affordability agenda; emphasizes lowering healthcare costs for families. No advocacy for single‑payer or Medicare for All is found in campaign materials.

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.
