Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border enforcement and actions to stop fentanyl and trafficking, emphasizing law enforcement and community protection. Aligns with an 'America First' approach and cooperation with federal measures to secure the border.
Climate & Energy
Supports expanding and protecting West Virginia’s fossil-fuel industries (coal, oil, and gas), cutting regulations on energy production, and prioritizing affordable, reliable domestic energy and American energy independence over international climate agreements. Advocates policies that favor market-driven energy and jobs tied to traditional energy sectors.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate describes himself as a “Second Amendment Absolutionist” and says he will fight for nationwide reciprocity, open and concealed carry rights, repeal of existing gun-control laws, and restoration of firearm rights to nonviolent felons who have completed their sentences. The campaign materials also list “red flag laws” alongside those priorities, producing conflicting signals about support for that specific form of gun regulation.
