Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

The candidate emphasizes job creation, infrastructure investment, and economic support for farmers and ranchers and says he would work to reform the tax system while opposing tariffs. No clear pro- or anti-tax-cut stance or concrete tax proposals are provided in campaign materials or public statements.

Healthcare

Supports expanding access to care in West Texas by funding healthcare infrastructure and creating clinics in underserved areas, improving access to VA and rural health services, and increasing mental-health support and health-literacy efforts. Emphasizes attracting providers to rural communities and reducing barriers in VA clinics.

Immigration & Border

Supports modernizing and strengthening border security infrastructure and Customs and Border Protection resources while also backing comprehensive immigration reform that creates pathways to legal residency and naturalization for DREAMers. Positions combine support for enhanced enforcement capacity with pro-regularization policies for undocumented immigrants and DREAMers.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate has stated support for adopting the Florida 2018 gun bill as national policy. The campaign site emphasizes upholding constitutional freedoms but does not provide a detailed firearms policy on its platform pages, creating mixed signals on specific gun-regulation positions.
