Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports reducing federal government size and spending, promoting domestic energy production to lower inflation, and advancing a conservative, pro‑America First economic agenda that seeks to roll back what he calls ‘Bidenomics’ and regulatory burdens. Emphasizes slashing government bloat and restoring free‑market approaches rather than expanding taxes or redistributive programs.

Immigration & Border

Supports sealing the border, ending sanctuary policies, and deporting unauthorized immigrants; frames immigration as a security threat and ties border issues to criminality and cartel activity.

Climate & Energy

Supports expanding U.S. energy production and reviving the energy industry while opposing Green New Deal–style policies and aggressive federal regulation. Emphasizes energy independence and prioritizes unleashing American energy as part of an America First, pro-fossil-fuel economic agenda.
