Supports strengthening border security through a layered approach (physical barriers, advanced surveillance, and more Border Patrol agents), stopping illegal immigration, enforcing immigration laws, and streamlining legal immigration for authorized entrants. Emphasizes funding technology and resources for border security while supporting law enforcement enforcement of immigration laws.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate describes himself as unapologetically pro-life, states that life begins at conception, and supports laws to protect unborn children. He endorses expanding adoption programs and supporting crisis pregnancy centers as alternatives to abortion and promotes a “culture of life.”
Climate & Energy
The candidate supports federal incentives for energy-efficient technologies and infrastructure investments that include energy efficiency and smart-city technologies, and promotes clean energy-related community programs. Positions emphasize investment and incentives rather than phasing out fossil fuels or aggressive regulatory mandates.
News
Sholdon Daniels has advanced to a runoff in the Republican primary for Texas' 30th Congressional District after no candidate won a majority. He will face Everett Jackson in the next round. The district has been redrawn and is still considered a Democratic stronghold, so a Republican win in the general election is seen as unlikely.
