Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports fiscal restraint and government spending limits, including a balanced budget amendment, debt-to-GDP caps, and ending what he calls inflationary spending; advocates zero-based budgeting and a full federal audit to reduce waste. Emphasizes lowering the cost of living and criticizes high taxes in California while promoting government modernization and efficiency measures.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes transforming the current "disease-care" system into a preventive, public-health–focused model, prioritizing tackling chronic disease, cleaning up public health agencies, and addressing environmental contributors to poor health. Campaign materials use the "Make America Healthy" agenda and highlight affordability as a campaign focus, but do not state a clear position on ACA expansion, Medicare for All, a public option, or market-based insurance reforms.

Immigration & Border
Supports secure, orderly borders with strengthened enforcement and technology for Border Patrol and ICE; calls for mandatory minimum sentences for traffickers, cartel terrorist designations, and expanded U.S.–Mexico task forces.

Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes energy dominance and securing affordable, reliable energy while supporting clean energy initiatives alongside protections for local ecosystems; he favors rejecting what he calls "extreme regulations" and implementing fair energy policies that reduce costs. His platform stresses balancing economic growth and energy independence with environmental responsibility and federal investment in water and coastal resilience.
