Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate advocates eliminating federal income, property, and other taxes and replacing them with a 1% Currency Usage Tax (CUT); he proposes large reductions in federal taxation and significant restructuring of welfare and entitlement spending to reduce government size and debt. His platform emphasizes tax elimination/cuts, reduced government spending, and market-oriented reforms.
Healthcare
Supports a large government-led expansion of healthcare including mandatory universal primary and essential coverage, comprehensive benefits for children with no copays, and systemic reform to sharply reduce national healthcare costs. Proposes state-managed programs and healthcare savings accounts within a broader USCF healthcare framework that covers preventative, chronic, and advanced therapies. Emphasizes government funding and requirements to ensure broad, guaranteed access to care.

Immigration & Border
The candidate emphasizes strong border security and enforcement, supports physical barriers and denying funds to sanctuary jurisdictions, and proposes restricting asylum by requiring applicants to apply at U.S. embassies and offering a limited temporary-worker/regularization program with deadlines for undocumented residents or deportation.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate expresses opposition to abortion and supports policies that protect preborn life while also calling for clear legal frameworks that respect women’s health and medical decision-making. He favors restricting abortion policy within constitutional boundaries rather than broad federal action, and emphasizes plain, stable laws to avoid uncertainty for patients and doctors.
Climate & Energy
The candidate expresses skepticism about mainstream climate science and emphasizes support for energy and agricultural industries, favoring lower operating costs and predictable rules rather than large-scale clean-energy mandates or expensive transitions. He says he supports some clean energy sources but rejects what he calls “climate alarmism” and argues large-scale transitions would be extremely costly.

The coverage does not report a result for him or TX-34, but it shows the district is part of the broader fight for control of the House. Recent Texas election coverage has focused more heavily on other contested congressional and Senate races, suggesting Lindsch’s race is still unfolding and not yet decided.
