Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro-life and says he will work to "protect the unborn," while previously stating he would not use city resources to criminalize doctors for performing abortions. His public messaging and campaign materials emphasize opposition to abortion and support for restrictions on abortion access.
Climate & Energy
Supports lowering energy costs and boosting U.S. energy independence while opposing the Green New Deal; favors development of wind and solar alongside other measures to support farmers facing high fuel costs and to limit regulatory overreach.

Public Safety & Guns
Supports local firearm restrictions including banning assault-style weapons in Indianapolis, restoring a permit requirement (ending permitless carry), and raising the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21; emphasizes using executive authority and state lobbying to pursue those changes while also expanding police staffing and public-safety leadership.
