Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports making the post-2017 tax cuts and small-business tax deductions permanent, opposes proposed tax increases by the Biden administration, and criticizes international tax proposals viewed as disadvantaging U.S. companies. Advocates lower taxes for businesses and codifying tax policies to sustain pro-growth incentives.

Healthcare

Opposes large federal expansion of healthcare and supports market-driven, choice-centered health policy; has supported repealing the Affordable Care Act and backed Republican proposals to reduce federal involvement in programs like Medicaid. His public statements emphasize free‑market solutions and increasing options to lower costs.

Immigration & Border

Supports stronger border security and enforcement measures, including increasing border agents, resuming border wall construction, ending catch-and-release, and tightening asylum/parole policies. Opposes the Biden administration’s immigration policies and has backed Republican legislative proposals to restrict asylum abuse and strengthen enforcement.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports pro-life positions and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, saying the question should be returned to the states; has voted for and publicly praised pro-life legislation.

Climate & Energy

Opposes the Green New Deal and similar aggressive climate proposals, emphasizes energy independence and support for domestic oil and gas production, and criticizes federal policies he views as restricting American energy. Has supported legislation and votes consistent with protecting U.S. fossil-fuel interests and opposing Paris-Agreement-aligned measures.

Public Safety & Guns

Opposes expanded federal background-check legislation and voted against bills to expand background checks and extend transfer review periods. Supports permitless/constitutional carry and frames additional gun restrictions as infringements on Second Amendment rights.
