Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports cutting wasteful government spending and lowering the tax burden on middle- and working-class families to restore affordability and economic security. Prioritizes reducing government-driven cost pressures rather than expanding taxes or redistributive programs.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes improving veterans' health care and access to mental health services and frames healthcare affordability as part of a broader cost-of-living agenda. Public materials do not articulate a clear position on the Affordable Care Act, a public option, Medicare expansion, or market-based reforms.
