Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports lowering costs for families and businesses through pro-growth, pro-business tax policies and regulatory reductions. Backs targeted tax relief such as exemptions for overtime and tipped wages and expansion of Opportunity Zones, and advocates smaller government and spending restraint. Pledges alignment with House Freedom Caucus priorities favoring limited government and reduced fiscal burden.

Healthcare

The campaign platform highlights reforming the VA and expanding veterans' ability to see private doctors when the VA cannot meet needs but does not state a broad position on Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, or single-payer proposals. Public materials emphasize veterans' healthcare choice and VA accountability without outlining general health‑care system reforms.

Show more

Immigration & Border

Supports enforcement-first immigration policies including ending birthright citizenship, mandating nationwide E‑Verify, finishing the border wall where needed, closing asylum/parole loopholes, prioritizing deportation of criminal unauthorized immigrants, and giving Border Patrol and ICE expanded tools and manpower.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting life and stopping taxpayer-funded abortions while promoting adoption and resources for mothers and babies, indicating a preference for restrictions on public funding for abortion.

Climate & Energy

Supports expanding domestic energy production including oil, gas, and nuclear to lower utility bills and reduce dependence on foreign countries, and emphasizes advancing reliable, affordable energy rather than aggressive emissions targets. Campaign messaging frames energy policy as part of an 'America First' agenda focused on economic growth and lower cost of living.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports defending the Second Amendment and signals a pro-gun-rights, law-and-order approach while aligning with conservative caucuses. Emphasizes restoring law and order and defending constitutional freedoms as part of his priorities. No detailed policy proposals on specific gun laws (e.g., red flag laws, universal background checks, or constitutional carry) were found on campaign pages reviewed.
