Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

Supports stronger border security and tougher enforcement measures, including physically securing the southern border and denying state or federal funds to jurisdictions that do not comply with immigration laws. Aligns with Trump-style "America First" immigration policies emphasizing enforcement over expanded pathways or asylum protections.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports restricting public funding for abortion providers and opposes taxpayer funding for organizations such as Planned Parenthood. Public responses indicate opposition to government funding for abortion services but do not provide a full statement supporting a total ban or specific gestational limits.

Climate & Energy

Supports policies that prioritize oil independence and manufacturing jobs and emphasizes energy production and reliable electricity delivery rather than aggressive emissions regulation. Campaign materials and candidate profiles highlight fossil-fuel production and economic priorities for energy policy. No evidence found of support for Green New Deal–style targets or major federal clean-energy mandates.

Public Safety & Guns

Martin Hyde advocates for strong Second Amendment protections, calling for abolition of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and opposing expanded federal background-check legislation such as HR 8.
