Available materials emphasize background and involvement in sustainable energy without clear policy positions or detailed climate/energy plans.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks, raising purchase ages, and requiring additional testing to obtain a carry permit while noting personal experience as a lifelong hunter. Emphasizes respect for human life, understanding of firearms, and mental competence in shaping gun policy.
