Economy & Taxes
Chris Getty’s public campaign material emphasizes cost of living, economic development, and government accountability, but it does not lay out a specific tax or spending agenda. In a public speech, he said most people want support for workers and small businesses, responsible use of tax dollars, and help for families to get ahead.
Immigration & Border
Chris Getty’s campaign frames immigration as part of a broader public safety issue and says he will be a fierce advocate for responsible immigration solutions. Public questionnaire responses on immigration were left blank, so his specific policy preferences on border enforcement, asylum, or legal pathways are not clearly stated.
