Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports cutting wasteful federal spending, passing a balanced-budget amendment, and reducing the deficit while encouraging small-business growth and regulatory streamlining to create jobs. Policy language emphasizes fiscal discipline and pro-growth measures rather than new tax increases.
Healthcare
Supports expanding local access to care through mobile medical units and telehealth, prioritizing low-income families, seniors, disabled, and homeless for no-cost point-of-care services, and coordinating with HHS and state partners to lower barriers to care. Policy focuses on targeted government-supported access improvements rather than single-payer or full privatization.

Immigration & Border
The candidate supports finishing construction of a border wall, ending catch-and-release, classifying major cartels as terrorist organizations with increased interdiction and intelligence support, and cutting federal funds to NGOs that the campaign says facilitate illegal entry. The campaign emphasizes prioritizing enforcement, local border enforcement capacity, and technology and adjudication resources.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as pro-life and participates in pro-life events, indicating opposition to abortion. Public materials and appearances emphasize a pro-life stance but do not provide detailed policy prescriptions (e.g., support for specific bans or personhood measures).
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate states support for the Second Amendment and emphasizes being 'tough on crime,' including boosting penalties for violent crime and fully funding law enforcement. Campaign materials prioritize backing police and public safety measures rather than proposing new firearm restrictions.
