Immigration & Border
Craig Haggard emphasizes stronger border security and cooperation with federal immigration authorities, supports state-level measures to enforce immigration laws (including honoring ICE detainers and opposing sanctuary policies), and frames illicit drugs and human trafficking at the southern border as threats that require increased enforcement.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro‑life and has accepted endorsement from Indiana Right to Life; his campaign materials list 'Pro‑Life Values' among priority issues and records show pro‑life votes in the state legislature. These items indicate support for abortion restrictions rather than unrestricted access.
Climate & Energy
Supports U.S. energy independence and investments in domestic energy innovation such as small modular nuclear reactors, favors expanding Indiana’s energy portfolio and carbon-capture infrastructure while expressing skepticism of policies that shift costs to ratepayers. Emphasizes market-driven energy policy and protecting consumers from “blank check” subsidies to utilities or Big Tech. Positions are presented in campaign materials and a policy tracker summarizing related state-level legislation he authored or supported.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate expresses a pro–Second Amendment stance opposing infringements on gun ownership and emphasizes the constitutional right to bear arms. His biography and campaign materials highlight longstanding ties to the National Rifle Association, including an A+ rating and prior service as the NRA’s Indiana field representative, indicating opposition to new gun restrictions. His public appearances and affiliations align with strong support for gun rights and law-enforcement support.
