LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports cutting federal spending, limiting property-tax growth, and enacting tax and economic policies to rein in inflation and keep more money with families; advocates unleashing American energy and reducing regulations to spur growth.

Immigration & Border

The candidate prioritizes strict border enforcement and supports finishing President Trump’s border wall, ending catch-and-release, and restoring law-and-order measures at the southern border. She frames current policy as an ‘‘open-border’’ problem tied to crime, human trafficking, and public safety and pledges to continue legal and enforcement actions to secure the border.

Advocates protecting children, parental rights, and traditional values and is affiliated with America First Policy Institute initiatives that promote pro-life policies and reducing abortions through support measures.
