Positions

LiberalConservative

Immigration & Border

The candidate lists “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” as a key issue on his campaign website but provides no detailed policy prescriptions or clear enforcement vs. humanitarian priorities. Public materials emphasize national security and public safety in his biography but do not state concrete immigration or border policies. Based on available campaign materials, his position on immigration is vague and lacks specific proposals.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Michael Koslow is aligned with pro-life organizations and has been endorsed by groups that recommend candidates who oppose abortion; his public materials and endorsements indicate support for restrictions on abortion access. There is no clear public evidence he advocates for an unrestricted or fully near-total ban, but available endorsements and voter guides place him in the pro-restriction/pro-life camp.
