Political Positions
Immigration & Border
The candidate has made public comments critical of immigration enforcement actions (specifically criticizing an ICE agent shooting) and has referenced the phrase “open borders” in his social-media posts, but has not published a clear policy platform laying out specific immigration or border-control proposals. Available public statements combine skepticism of enforcement actions with vague critiques of ‘open borders,’ producing an unclear overall policy position on immigration and the border.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate is a vocal pro-gun public figure who publicly celebrates owning and using firearms and has praised pro-gun politicians. He has framed fewer gun-control laws as preferable and frequently posts about firing and collecting weapons. His public behavior indicates opposition to significant new firearm regulations.
