Economy & Taxes
Supports lowering taxes and reducing regulations to stimulate job growth and economic opportunity; favors pro‑business, capitalistic policies and backing President Trump’s economic initiatives. Emphasizes reducing government red tape and lowering costs to make housing and jobs more affordable.
Healthcare
Supports access to affordable, high-quality health care and mental health services for veterans and emphasizes improving veterans’ health resources; does not provide a detailed, general healthcare plan on the campaign site.

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.
