Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports eliminating property taxes and lowering costs for families and businesses, and promotes cutting regulatory red tape to help small businesses grow. Emphasizes protecting seniors and working families from property tax burdens while advancing pro-business policies.
Healthcare
The candidate’s campaign materials list a “Healthcare Freedom” priority emphasizing prevention, prescription affordability, and expanded mental-health access but do not specify support for a public option, Medicare-for-All, or specific market-based reforms. Public statements on detailed healthcare policy (e.g., Medicaid/Medicare stance, ACA repeal or expansion, regulatory approaches) are not provided on the campaign site. The available material is high-level and does not clearly map to a progressive or conservative healthcare policy package.

Immigration & Border

Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports defending lawful gun owners and presents a pro-Second Amendment stance while emphasizing law-and-order/public-safety themes. Public reporting around the campaign includes an incident involving an allegation about a firearm which was later dismissed by prosecutors.
