Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports fiscal restraint and prioritizing taxpayer dollars, favors reducing costs for small businesses (including lowering LLC formation fees), and opposes what he describes as expensive or taxpayer-backed subsidies for offshore wind and other projects. Advocates reallocating government spending toward core services like education, public safety, and infrastructure rather than new capital-intensive projects.
Climate & Energy
The candidate publicly criticizes large-scale renewable projects (specifically offshore wind) as economically harmful and urges prioritizing municipal spending on essentials over capital-intensive green projects. He frames policies like the Green New Deal as driving up utility costs and argues for greater transparency and affordability in utility billing.
