Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports standing up to large corporations that raise prices and favors measures to help working families and small businesses, while endorsing targeted tools such as tariffs used carefully and corporate-tax increases as a means to fiscal responsibility. Emphasizes cutting regulatory red tape for small businesses, investing in workforce training and higher-wage job creation.
Healthcare
Supports strengthening Medicare as a critical safety net, making healthcare more affordable, negotiating lower prescription drug prices, and protecting Medicaid and Medicare funding for South Texas families. Advocates expanding access and rethinking how to provide affordable care, citing rural hospital closures and high costs as key concerns.

Immigration & Border
Supports comprehensive immigration reform and a balanced approach that secures the border while protecting families and removing criminals living in the country illegally. Opposes family separations and emphasizes practical solutions for South Texas communities affected by immigration policy.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has described himself as personally pro-life but has also said abortion policy is a matter for states and that he does not see it as his place to tell women what to do; he has not committed to codifying Roe v. Wade or opposing Texas’s near-total abortion restrictions.
Climate & Energy
The candidate’s campaign materials emphasize local resource priorities such as water infrastructure (desalination, modern irrigation) and supporting farmers and ranchers, but do not articulate explicit national climate targets, greenhouse gas reduction goals, or detailed energy policy such as support for the Green New Deal, carbon pricing, or phasing out fossil fuels.
