Immigration & Border
The candidate advocates an "Ellis Island" style immigration system that would simplify legal entry and favor allowing peaceful, work-seeking immigrants to enter through ports of entry; he supports expanded legal pathways and more open admission policies while focusing enforcement on serious criminals. He has proposed simplifying processing and regularizing long-term temporary residents and their children rather than pursuing large-scale deportations.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate is pro-choice and supports making abortion legal nationwide up to the point of fetal viability, while opposing federal funding for abortions (supporting the Hyde Amendment) and allowing limited exceptions after viability for the life of the mother.
Climate & Energy
Favors market-driven solutions and incentives for clean energy (not government mandates or carbon caps), emphasizes nuclear power, and opposes large-scale government climate programs or regulations. Supports energy independence while relying on private-sector innovation to reduce emissions.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports robust Second Amendment rights and opposes new gun restrictions while expressing openness to limited checks to prevent prohibited persons from purchasing firearms. Opposes registration or broad federal restrictions and frames gun ownership as a means of self-defense for vulnerable groups. Endorses law-enforcement support and no new federal gun-control measures in his campaign platform coverage.
