Political Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports lowering taxes and cutting wasteful government spending so Americans can keep more of their income; favors limiting the size and scope of federal government and reviewing legislation through a lens of preserving individual freedom and reducing government intervention.

Healthcare

Focuses on addiction and mental-health treatment access, supporting programs that expand treatment options (including virtual treatment models) for people in the criminal-justice system and rural communities while emphasizing enforcement and limited government. Public materials and local reporting do not provide a clear stance on broader health-policy questions such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicare/Medicaid expansion, or a public option.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports strong Second Amendment protections and opposes efforts to limit constitutional rights; emphasizes law enforcement discretion on weapons permits and prioritizes public safety through law enforcement. Positions favor preserving gun ownership while using sheriffs' authority in permitting decisions.
