Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border enforcement measures including finishing construction of a border wall and restoring full immigration enforcement; favors legal immigration but opposes illegal immigration and emphasizes empowering states to act when federal government does not.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Jason Cullen supports restricting federal/state funding for abortion providers and says abortion policy should be decided at the state level; he indicates abortion should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. These positions emphasize limiting federal involvement and enabling state-level restrictions while allowing narrow exceptions.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s public materials emphasize energy security and protecting the power grid and critical infrastructure and oppose economic burdens from regulation, but do not articulate specific climate goals, emissions targets, or a clear policy favoring major clean-energy transition. Available statements focus on energy reliability and reducing dependence on foreign supply chains rather than explicit climate mitigation commitments.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports robust Second Amendment protections, national concealed-carry reciprocity, and expansion of gun rights while opposing politicians and policies that restrict firearms; strongly backs law enforcement and increased resources for police.
