Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes reducing federal spending and deficits, streamlining regulations to help small businesses, and reforming defense acquisition to deliver better results for less money. He proposes a specific annual deficit-reduction target ($250 billion) and calls for greater federal budget transparency. There is no explicit advocacy for major tax increases or wealth-redistribution policies on the campaign materials reviewed.
Immigration & Border
Supports securing the border while creating a clear, conditional pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants who meet criteria (no criminal record, 3+ years in US, pay taxes, basic English and civics). Favors merit-based legal immigration to meet economic needs and investments in integration (education, job training, community).
