Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports extending and expanding the 2017 Trump tax cuts, repealing the SALT cap, and removing certain taxes (examples listed: taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security); generally favors tax reductions and pro-tax‑cut policies for homeowners, families, and businesses. Has sponsored/ cosponsored state-level measures that provide tax credits or deductions for employers and students' supplies.

Immigration & Border
Michael J. LiPetri Jr. has emphasized securing the southern border and implementing a merit-based legal immigration system while also having supported immigration reform that included a pathway to legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients. His public messaging stresses border security and enforcement but some prior proposals indicate support for limited regularization measures.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports restricting abortion access with limits such as opposing late-term abortions and backing restrictions around the 15–16 week mark, and he does not support federalizing abortion law. He has opposed New York legislation that codified abortion rights and supports limiting taxpayer funding for abortion providers.
Climate & Energy
Opposes the Green New Deal and similar aggressive climate policies, characterizing them as overreach that would limit individual freedoms. Campaign materials emphasize rejection of those policies without endorsing major progressive climate legislation or aggressive emissions-phaseout plans.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strong law-enforcement measures and tougher criminal penalties, emphasizes backing police and addressing crime rather than defunding, and criticizes bail reform policies. No explicit policy language on specific gun regulations or bans was found on the candidate’s campaign site or biographical profile.
