Economy & Taxes
Supports lower taxes and tax reductions for middle-class households and small businesses, and endorses low taxes and reduced regulation to promote economic growth. Has supported making tax cuts permanent and frames economic growth as tied to lower taxes and fewer regulations.
Healthcare
Opposes the Affordable Care Act and Medicare for All and supports market-based, patient-centered reforms such as purchasing insurance across state lines, short-term plans, and reducing federal involvement in healthcare.

Has a congressional voting record and public statements consistent with seeking to roll back or replace major elements of the ACA.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate holds a pro-life position and supports legal restrictions on abortion, including backing late-term limits. He has been described as a consistent supporter of pro-life values and voted in favor of congressional measures to restrict abortion timing.

Has voted for measures that limit or block EPA climate-related regulations and emphasizes energy independence and market-driven policies.
