Immigration & Border
Drew Wrigley describes border insecurity as a major public safety and national security threat. He argues for stronger border enforcement, says the southwest border should be shut down, and portrays illegal entry and border encounters as evidence of a serious crisis.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Drew Wrigley has publicly framed abortion regulation as a matter for state legislatures after Dobbs. In his role as North Dakota attorney general, his office defended state abortion restrictions in litigation, including laws that criminalized abortion except in narrow circumstances to preserve a woman’s life or health.
Climate & Energy
Drew Wrigley has backed limits on federal climate regulation and emphasized state authority in energy policy. He has also supported carbon capture and storage projects in North Dakota and described the state as a leader in carbon neutrality, while opposing rules he viewed as politicizing environmental review.
Public Safety & Guns
Wrigley has emphasized public safety and law enforcement in his public roles. His office launched a concealed weapon license validation tool for firearms dealers, and he has also highlighted prosecution of a felon for making a false statement during a firearm purchase, which points to enforcement of existing gun laws rather than a clearly stated new gun-policy agenda.
