Immigration & Border
Supports prioritizing enforcement and assimilation over expanded pathways; calls for limiting work visas, addressing illegal immigration, and a structured plan to deport or assimilate illegal immigrants with initial focus on violent criminals and those exploiting government programs.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports a federal ban on abortion and states that life begins at conception, advocating that ending a pregnancy should be treated as murder under the law. The campaign platform also opposes gender‑affirming care for minors and supports criminal penalties related to related social issues.
Climate & Energy
Favors market-driven energy and economic policies, opposes government intervention and subsidies, and emphasizes national self-sufficiency rather than large federal climate programs. No evidence found of support for aggressive emissions targets or Green New Deal–style measures.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate’s campaign platform says states should not create burdensome legal hurdles to carry a firearm and frames protecting lawful carry as part of protecting rights. The campaign emphasizes limiting regulatory barriers related to firearm carry while advancing law-and-order and national security themes elsewhere on the platform.
Latest News
Jack Codiga is in the news because Tennessee approved a new congressional map that could change the Memphis-based 9th District, affecting the race he is tied to as a candidate. The redistricting move comes after the state repealed its ban on mid-decade map changes. Broader House race ratings also shifted in Democrats’ favor, adding to the uncertainty around the district.
