Positions
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.
