Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security measures including restarting border wall construction, increasing Border Patrol staffing and resources, and tightening enforcement and asylum procedures while framing immigration as a law-and-order and national-security issue. Has voted for and publicly endorsed legislation that would deploy technology and personnel to the border and expand physical barriers.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports restrictions on abortion with exceptions and describes himself as pro-life; has said Dobbs returned decisions to the states and indicated support for limits such as a 20-week restriction while backing exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother.
Climate & Energy
Supports expanding U.S. energy production and prioritizes technology-driven solutions over heavy federal regulations; has opposed the Green New Deal and voted against legislation to keep the U.S. in the Paris Agreement framework, while sponsoring measures to advance fossil fuel projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline. Emphasizes protecting jobs and lowering energy costs alongside environmental protection through ‘‘commonsense’’ or market-oriented approaches.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strong Second Amendment protections, identifies as a gun owner and ‘‘strong advocate’’ for the Second Amendment, and has opposed major federal background-check expansion measures while backing legislation to expand concealed-carry recognition.
