Positions

LiberalConservative

Healthcare

Supports improving veterans’ access to care by allowing local private providers to be covered when VA cannot provide care within 60 minutes; no clear public position found on broader healthcare reforms such as the ACA, Medicare for All, or a public option.

Climate & Energy

The candidate has no prominent, detailed climate or energy platform on his campaign site; public record from his time as a Lake Wales city commissioner shows support for municipal infrastructure and energy-related measures (e.g., switching to LED lighting in coordination with Duke Energy) but no clear state- or federal-level climate policy proposals. Available sources show local infrastructure and economic priorities rather than explicit positions on emissions targets, fossil fuel phase-out, or major clean-energy legislation.
