Immigration & Border
Supports legal immigration while prioritizing stronger border enforcement and measures to reduce illegal crossings. Has expressed support for the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" (MPP) policy, favors increasing border agents and technology, and has said she would continue the border wall while placing people seeking to enter legally "at the front of the line."
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate is unequivocally pro-life, favors returning abortion policy to the states, and supports restrictions on abortion including opposing taxpayer funding for abortion providers. She states elective abortion should only be allowed when the pregnancy would cause irreparable physical harm to the mother. She also supports safety regulations on chemical abortion drugs and opposes federal funding for abortions or abortion providers.
Climate & Energy
Supports policies to restore U.S. energy independence through expanded fossil-fuel production and reduced regulation, including reopening pipelines, allowing fracking, and renewing leases for domestic energy development. Emphasizes prioritizing domestic energy production over aggressive regulatory climate measures.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate positions emphasize defending law enforcement and upholding constitutional rights while running as a Republican; campaign materials do not detail new gun restrictions. Pro-gun advocacy groups have rated or graded the candidate positively, indicating alignment with gun-rights positions rather than support for expanded gun-control measures.
