Immigration & Border

Audie Rowell has positioned himself with a Republican, law-enforcement-aligned, ‘America First’ approach and opposes mass amnesty or programs that would grant citizenship/green cards to people who entered illegally. His campaign materials state he will further President Trump’s agenda and debate coverage reports he and other GOP CD-2 candidates said they would not support broad amnesty measures.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate states he "will always stand firm in protecting the right to life, which I believe begins at conception," indicating opposition to abortion and support for fetal personhood-based protections. This position aligns with advocating strong pro-life policies.
