Positions

Supports limited government and fiscal restraint, emphasizing reducing government waste, cutting unnecessary spending, and pursuing a balanced budget. Advocates pro-growth policies, reduced regulation, and measures like zero-based budgeting and public–private partnerships to limit state spending and encourage private investment.
Healthcare
The candidate states she will work to improve access to healthcare and lower costs but provides no specific policy prescriptions (for example, on Medicaid expansion, Medicare policy, public option, or ACA changes) on her campaign site or in early reporting. Public statements emphasize improving access and cost control without detailed reform proposals.

Immigration & Border
The candidate calls for finishing construction of a border wall, deporting criminal noncitizens, strengthening border security, and supporting enforcement-focused measures and local law enforcement. The campaign frames immigration as a problem of “open borders” and emphasizes strong enforcement and alignment with President Trump’s approach to border policy.
Climate & Energy
Supports expanding domestic energy production — including offshore drilling and natural gas — and prioritizes energy independence and deregulation while also proposing federal tax incentives for renewable projects as part of an economic development strategy.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate supports safeguarding the Second Amendment and backing local law enforcement, and emphasizes enforcing the law and securing the border as part of public safety priorities.
News
Sarah Adlakha was defeated in Mississippi’s Republican Senate primary by incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, who won by a wide margin and advanced to the general election. The race is now set for November, with Hyde-Smith facing Democrat Scott Colom. Adlakha’s campaign has been overshadowed by the broader Mississippi election cycle and the Supreme Court case over mail-ballot deadlines that could affect voting rules in the state and beyond.
