Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports reducing federal spending, limiting the size of the federal government, and enacting a balanced-budget amendment; emphasizes fiscal responsibility and opposing "outrageous government spending."
Healthcare
Supports market-based changes to lower costs such as allowing insurance to be sold across state lines, hospital price transparency, deregulating administrative requirements, medical malpractice/tort reform, and making medical expenses tax-deductible; favors allowing veterans to use private providers when VA care is inadequate and increased funding for rehab/treatment for the drug epidemic.

Immigration & Border
Supports maximal enforcement-focused immigration policies including building/finishing a southern border wall, large-scale deportations of undocumented immigrants, ending sanctuary cities and the diversity visa program, expanding tools for ICE and Border Patrol, and restricting immigration to a merit-based legal pathway with limits on benefits for noncitizens.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro-life, says he is "100% against" federal funding for organizations that perform abortions and pledges to fight to stop abortions and end federal funding for such organizations.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports unrestricted Second Amendment rights and opposes any gun control measures; calls for ending gun-free zones and argues no restrictions on gun ownership are needed for public safety.
News
Brandon Wilkinson is in the news because Missouri’s 2026 House primary is moving ahead under a newly drawn congressional map whose legal status is still being challenged. That means candidates may be nominated in August under one set of districts, while the November election could still use a different map if the court fight or referendum changes the outcome. The situation leaves his race tied to an unresolved redistricting dispute.
