Positions
Healthcare
Favors expanding access to health care primarily through greater choice and market-based reforms rather than government-run single-payer programs. Emphasizes reducing regulatory barriers and limiting bureaucratic control over health-care decisions. Has stated limited policy expertise in interviews, offering few detailed federal healthcare proposals.
Immigration & Border
Opposes restrictive travel bans and emphasizes inclusion; supports maintaining national security while criticizing policies that exclude refugees and immigrants. Public comments characterize immigration in humanitarian terms and stress inclusive approaches rather than expansion of enforcement-only measures.

Public Safety & Guns
The candidate has pledged that his production company will stop using real firearms on film and television sets and will use non-functional prop guns and post-production effects instead. There is public evidence of this production-safety policy, but no clear public record of his positions on broader gun-policy issues such as background checks, assault-weapon bans, red-flag laws, or national firearms regulation.
