Political Positions
Healthcare
Eileen Day has not published a clear, detailed healthcare policy on her campaign site and during her TX-28 run she emphasized animal-welfare and shelter issues she described as tied to broader public health, safety and economic concerns. Public reporting indicates she ran a low-budget, newcomer campaign and did not put forward a specific platform on Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, or other major federal healthcare proposals.
Immigration & Border
The candidate emphasizes border security and aligns with President Trump’s agenda on border issues, framing the southern border as a local crisis that needs stronger enforcement and reform. Her campaign materials and local coverage highlight border security as a priority but do not lay out a detailed pathway for legal immigration expansion or asylum protections.
