Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports pro-business, deregulatory approaches to economic growth, including promoting technology/manufacturing/energy zones, attracting private investment, and cutting unnecessary regulations (mentions use of the REINS Act). Emphasizes reskilling and job creation but advocates reducing regulatory burdens to stimulate growth rather than proposing tax increases or wealth-redistribution measures.

Healthcare

Supports market-oriented, choice-focused health care reforms that empower individuals and local providers, reduce federal/top-down regulations, and increase private-sector innovation and options. Emphasizes starting locally and trusting people to select providers rather than expanding large federal programs.

Show more

Immigration & Border

Supports stronger border security, strict vetting, prioritizing legal immigration that protects jobs for native-born citizens, and opposes amnesty or "back door" pathways that bypass legal processes.

Climate & Energy

The candidate's public materials emphasize promoting energy and manufacturing job zones and reference climate resilience initiatives, but they do not present specific climate policies, targets, or clear positions on fossil fuels, emissions regulations, or major climate legislation.
