Emphasizes reducing unfunded mandates and keeping more tax revenue at the local level.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border security and stricter enforcement against people in the country illegally; opposes sanctuary-state policies and says individuals present illegally should be removed. Positions emphasize enforcement and removal rather than expanded legal pathways or asylum protections.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports individual autonomy to make reproductive decisions but proposes that state taxpayers should not fund most abortions; allows state Medicaid coverage only for rape, forced incest, and serious medical conditions endangering the mother or fetal viability and would criminalize false claims to obtain state funding.
Public Safety & Guns
Opposes recent New York firearm restrictions and emphasizes protecting Second Amendment rights while stressing public safety and stopping crime. Positions emphasize preserving gun ownership (including hunting) and opposing laws perceived as criminalizing possession of multiple firearms.
