Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Michele Morrow emphasizes cutting wasteful spending and bringing fiscal conservancy to the Department of Public Instruction, including independent audits and reducing administrative/ nonacademic expenditures. She favors cutting spending over increasing taxes to address shortfalls and opposes taxpayer funding of college. Her campaign prioritizes directing existing education dollars to classrooms and reducing bureaucratic bloat.
Healthcare
Michele Morrow has a nursing background and her campaign lists endorsements from health-freedom advocacy groups, but there are no detailed public policy statements on broad healthcare reform, school-based health services, or statewide health policy in the campaign record. Local reporting and a health-news Q&A search found no substantive healthcare policy responses from her as of the 2024 campaign cycle.

Immigration & Border
Advocates for aggressive border enforcement, including finishing the border wall, ending sanctuary policies, cooperating with ICE to deport criminal noncitizens, and supporting mass deportation efforts; favors prioritizing skilled legal immigration while cracking down on visa overstays and chain migration. Frames border policy as central to stopping fentanyl, gangs, and human trafficking and calls for deploying additional personnel, technology, and resources to stop illegal crossings.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate identifies as unapologetically pro-life and supports federal protections for the unborn, including promoting heartbeat-style bills and defunding Planned Parenthood. The campaign emphasizes promoting adoption and support for mothers in crisis while advancing policies described as protecting family values.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports armed school personnel (allowing licensed faculty to carry), increasing school security through SROs, weapons-detection systems, controlled entry, and video surveillance, and emphasizes law-enforcement-centered measures over additional firearm restrictions for civilians.
