Political Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports lower taxes and opposes tax increases and expansions of IRS enforcement. Emphasizes policies favorable to businesses and economic growth and has framed recent federal tax/IRS proposals as harmful to the business environment.
Healthcare
Opposes Medicare-for-All and supports repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act in favor of market-based, patient-centered approaches such as interstate competition for insurance and measures to lower premiums. Has cosponsored bipartisan bills to expand telehealth and pharmacy access for seniors and supported federal funding for local hospital equipment.

Immigration & Border
The candidate emphasizes strict border enforcement, supports construction of a border wall and increased resources for Border Patrol, backs legislation to end catch-and-release and expand removals, and has called for deporting illegal immigrants.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Jerry Carl is strongly anti-abortion and supports restricting access to abortion. He applauded the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision returning authority to the states, describes himself as “100 percent pro-life,” and has cosponsored federal measures such as heartbeat-detection and bans on taxpayer-funded abortions.
Climate & Energy
Jerry Carl supports expanding domestic oil and natural gas production, increasing offshore lease sales, and rolling back regulations he says hinder U.S. energy production. He has sponsored and promoted bills (e.g., the Unleashing American Energy Act included in the Lower Energy Costs Act) intended to boost fossil fuel leasing and streamline permitting. He opposes Green New Deal–style mandates while saying he favors market-driven and ‘‘cleaner’’ energy options like natural gas as part of energy independence efforts.
Public Safety & Guns
Jerry Carl opposes additional gun-control measures and frames gun violence as a problem of individuals and social issues rather than firearm regulations. He has defended the Second Amendment, said he will not support infringing gun rights, and voted against proposed federal assault-weapons restrictions.
