Positions

LiberalConservative

Healthcare

Supports shrinking federal public-health authority and reducing the role of federal health agencies; calls to defund the CDC and NIH and to return health decisions to individuals rather than unelected bureaucracies and pharmaceutical companies.

Immigration & Border

Supports stronger physical border security and increased measures to secure the southern border while emphasizing enforcement-oriented approaches to immigration. Public materials indicate a priority on border control rather than expanded legal pathways or broad regularization.

Show more

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate identifies as an “abortion abolitionist,” says life begins at conception, indicates no circumstances under which elective abortion should be allowed, and supports returning jurisdiction over abortion to the states.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate affirms that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and expresses opposition to redirecting funds away from police. These statements indicate strong support for broad Second Amendment protections and for traditional law-enforcement funding and policies.
